Default Road Glide Alternator

Wow... You Roadies in the Roadglide pic forum have almost got me ready to sell my 'electra and join the Roadie crowd. Some gorgeous sleds in there.

Tell me (I ride all year with electric chaps and vest) does the RoadGlide have the 38 or 45 amp alternator? I know the Classic and Ultras have the rare earth magnets in the rotor for higher output.

I believe it's the 45 amp. I'm sure someone will let me know if I'm wrong...

As of '06 all touring bikes have50 amp charging systems. Prior to that 38 amps for all Kings & carbed glides except Ultra. 45 amps for Injected glides & Ultra. Per '03 service manual.
