Title: Which 50 amp alternator brand to purchase..?? (K75 '91 engine )
Post by: MEZ on February 16, 2015, 03:22:38 PM: Hello Gents

An old and much talked about topic I know but it has still left me pondering over which brand and company to buy from. I want to upgrade to a 50 amper from a 32. Ive read countless threads on the topic but when it has come to parting with the hard earnt beer tokens I am left struggling to find a genuine Bosch BRAND NEW item. They are all either second hand or refurbished or evan worse, made in #%!*%#!!!! . Maybe I'm in for a shock with the price, I don't know but I want to first find a source for one ( new bosch ) and while I'm at it I need/want to get a new starter motor aswell.
Also gents, any help or advice on clutch issues with regard and a view to taking the bike on a very long trip, fingers crossed a RTW trip in a couple of years..?? ( I read a thread once about getting the clutch basket balanced to ultra smooth out the drive train..??).

Iv'e looked at that site but bought one today after many more indepth searches and went for a reconditioned Bosch item from Germany less than half the cost from the states, import and postage costs etc etc BUT...... I did purchase a new starter motor from these people also today at a reasonable price.....
