Default 32 amp charging system

I do ! If you rotor is in good condition all you need is the stator/reg I like the 32 amp system due to the fact that the stator plug sticks outside the case (great connection ) The price is great so go with the whole system ! I have put 22amp rotors on 32 amp systems and maybe the 17 amp rotors would work as well ?

Seems like you got it figured out....but for reference. I updated my 22 amp system on my 84 FLH and went to a 32 amp system from CycleElectric. More expensive than others but so far it has been worth it. Still think that sometimes you get what you pay for.

And not a big proponent of chrome regulator. They draw enough heat from the road sitting low on the bike without adding more with the chrome.
