Re: New Small alternator
Is that the Toyota forklift alternator? Some folks I know use em on race cars for alternators.

A car parts supplier tweeted it today and knowing how our guys like small powerful things I thought I'd post it.

Re: New Small alternator
Wow that is a small alternator!! Good find Stuart, just perfect for a bike with limited space, looks like a Hitachi type "clone?" but could be wrong

Re: New Small alternator
For reference I use a Bandit alternator which is comparably small. Also fitted to many of the larger Suzuki GSX bikes. like your find it's rated at 35 Amps.
The only mod I had to do was braze a pulley wheel on the cush drive / sprocket carrier.
Commonly available second hand for between £15 and £25.
