I just replaced my Stator "CE" and Regulator on my 08 FXDC
And we just replaced the Stator and Reg on my Brothers 99 Nighttrain.
The instructions that came with the Stator, says to always replace the Reg along with the Stator.
If they do, the parts come from 2 different assembly lines.
There is no comparison in the build quality if you lay a Harley and CE stator side by side. It's easy to see that CE is a better built product.
So I have a question to all of you that have had to replace these, are you using synthetic oil? My Indy claims he replaces most of these electric components on bikes that run synthetic oil. Just wanting to see what the consensus is on this. Just his theory so I want to check to see!
Don't know about Accel stators but their regulators and other components like solenoids have been getting pretty cheesy . I've quit using them in peoples bikes , to much money almost a 50% failure rate within 6 months they won't warranty anymore .
