Are you talking about the Compufire stator/rotor/regulator from Amazon that
I gave you a link for? Otherwise don't you have a Harley dealership over
there? That's where I started my quest, knowing that I was gonna be paying
far more money than I would by getting aftermarket parts on-line, but I
wanted to actually hold and measure parts before putting money down, which
was a good idea, because there are a few different models and sizes, so I
examined them as best as I could, but they were a little hesitant about me
opening sealed boxes to make my choice. But I was up front with them about
what I was doing and why I didn't have actual part numbers to know what I
needed. They had no problem with the aircraft application idea, but I'm
pretty sure they thought I was a little crazy, but my $400 was still all
they really cared about.
