Default Simple question about alternators

Okay, I'm just about done pulling my hair out searching. Local dealer couldn't answer this....

Anyone happen to know the alternator rating on a 2007 Street Glide?

(this is driving me nuts)

I did a 2 sec google search and found lots of hits. Here's one and it looks like it's 650 watts. http://www.americanrider.com/output.cfm?id=1711585

Thanks guys. I had seen the 625w rating for 2006 models, but to calculate amperage I needed to know the voltage.

12.0v x 50amps = 600watts available
13.8v x 50amps = 690watts available
14.4v x 50amps = 720watts available

I'll assume that the majority of the time, it'll generate 13.8v while running above idle.

From the 2007 HD Touring Models SM:

Output Voltage @ 3600 rpm 14.3-14.7
50 Amp: All Models

Save your hair; buy the SM.
