Hi Ernest;
    You were working on installing an H-D generator between your engine & redrive, which I have a great interest in. Last post I find about it was last August in which you were promising pics soon. Did you ever get this done?
    Also from your info there was a link to CompuFire, where it looks like the best option was this one;
- *55540* 32 AMP EVO Style (Narrow Stator/Rotor) Aftermarket Engines $250
but your last post on the subject says;
- BTW, I have the Harley Davidson generator now. 38 Amps. $288.17. 9lbs.
So did you buy this one direct from H-D? What are its dimensions? Part #?

I'm currently in a position where it's the ideal time to do these sorts of things, so I'd like to take a real close look at it now and try to make it happen.

One more thing, Todd.  I think it important that you realize that my intake will provide cooling for the generator.  Part of the casting will be centrifugal blower blades.  Air flows in around the generator and then get a small boost in pressure from the fan blades spinning at 6000 RPM.  A shroud around the PSRU mount plate will be ducted straight to the intake manifold.

I didn't buy the unit online, because I found a local vendor that was interested.  Price was about the same by the time you ship that heavy thing.
