I will be ordering a new stator tomorrow or Monday. I am tempted to do the "instant gratification" thing and order an Electrosport stator from Motorcycle Superstore, but I'm trying to wait and talk to Gary at Custom Rewind, first.

Chuck may be onto something here, this is very popular with some of the folks that go to Sturgis and Daytona.

My "new" stator should ship today from Birmingham, Alabama. Only $85.00 (plus whatever it costs to ship my core and stator harness back to Gary). When I bought my "new" rotor from Custom Rewind, it only took a couple of days for UPS to deliver it, so I've got my fingers crossed.

Somebody has a trailer in case I get stranded on the way to or from Hutto, right?

My fingers are crossed!

It ocurred to me the other day that my last problem (fried connector caused by frayed wires between stator and reg/rec) may have pushed the stator over the brink.

At the worst, for $85.00 plus shipping on my core to Gary, it will finish my upgrade of the charging system!

Right now, seems like a good assertation! I'm pullin' for ya!

Have trailer, will travel.

I'm glad to hear this may be worked out.

Bikey lives!!!

From 0 volts the other day, to 14.1 volts after installing the new stator.

Wheeeee!!!

This illustrates exactly why I went ahead and replaced both the reg/rect and the stator on the Shadow when it showed signs of trouble. From all I've found in my research, one component failure propagates to the other.

This is not something I normally do as I tend to be a frugal person, but I thought about it and realized I needed my bike to be reliable without any doubt.

Lee, enjoy your pie!

I, on the other hand, am CHEAP. And I've been paying for it!
