As most who will come to know and love their Vulcan 750, they will face the fact that the electrical charging system is - shall we say - "conservative". Here is some info on an aftermarket part for if the time comes to replace your stator - ( a trip to the dentist would be more fun ). Here is some backround info that drove me to look into other options for the charging system:
I've been modifying my '02 to be a poor man's Gold Wing and in the process have come to be in need of more raw, gut busting amperage. The extra driving lights, extra brake and turn signal lights, and a 200 watt stereo system amplifier requires me to very closely monitor my voltage level / amperage usage with my installed voltmeter. ** HIGHLY recommended to have a voltmeter installed on this bike ***
The stock stator will realistically put out about 21 amps, maybe up to 24 amps at 8000 rpm when the moon is aligned with Venus. I've been in contact with Electrexusa recently and they tell me the current Electrexusa G-05 will put out about 26 amps, which is about 25% over stock. The original RR can handle the stock output, and "maybe" the increased output of the G-05.
They are making a new model called DeltaForce. This new unit will put out 30-33A. They are still in pre-production and it "might" be available sometime in August. You will have to replace the stock RR with their new model Regulator Rectifier at the same time as the stock unit will burn up with the increased amperage.
