STICKY:
Output of stator (AC magneto generator) and wattage used by bulbs, etc.
(Preview)
So, I'm looking for more power! I have a '94 raid. I am hoping to add electric grips and an electric vest. Grips run at about 60 watts. That's almost half of what the stator produces. Are there any aftermarket stators for the bike? Am I looking at a rebuild?

Cleaning exhaust header pipes

Brick cleaning acid works wonders on dirty exhaust headers but an alternative that I have recently found is to use a wire wheel on a bench grinder. Works really well and then just needs finishing off with some relatively fine wet & dry paper and Solvol Autosol. Brian PS Please excuse the messy benc...
