Hi Dale,
I have tried to locate the website where I think I saw the '45', but I think now, I misread it. My requirements are for less than 20 amp,
so I thought I would use the 32 amp model for a 50% reserve. My local M/C electrician suggested using the 40 amp regulator as it
is a later design and of more rugged construction than the smaller units. He also said to avoid the 3 phase systems as they have
reliability issues. www.choppercycles.com also list a 'heavy duty' rotor with a beefed up center section.  FWIW, Dave McC

David,

   Where did you find the 45Amp unit?  The highest rating I could locate was the "3 phase" 40Amp unit.

Hi Ernest,
i researched this topic just a few weeks back; I think a Harley M/C
alternator is just right for the rotary. 25, 32, and 45 amps available
OK to 9000 rpm. I think I will mount mine on the prop flange. Check out
