Charging systems are fairly universal so bits from anywhere should work, just the vibes on bikes can shake things to bits! Might be worth checking your rotor as they can lose magnetism over time which will of course affect the output of the Alternator. This will be made worse if anybody has tryed to...

From what I have read then the resistance is between 0.7 - 1.2 Ohms. As you say there is a difference in the wire size & number of turns (4 coils in the smaller wire & 2 in the larger wire). This doesn't make a massive difference to the resistance though. Another check worth doing ius continuity to ...

Hi all, I'm building a semi racer look CB72 at present. I've just found that one of my for legs has seen a little bit of previous "action" which has damaged the hard chrome.

I'm in the process of putting a '63 CB72 back together after starting the project in the mid 1990s....... One item i'm not all that happy with is my primary drive chain. It seems okish but i've been c...
