Unless I've got a customer that is insistent on keeping the bike original, I never recommend going that route for two reasons. 1- On a bike that is 29 years old, things never come apart as you would hope, which can really run the cost of the job up. The last time I did a stator replacement (probably 3 years ago), dealing with exhaust and other unexpected issues, the job was $1100-$1200 complete. And when the job is done, you still have an inadequate charging system that will most likely fail again! 2- With the development of the "Poor Boy" conversion, you end up with a very proven improvement to the charging system. And the cost to do the job is considerably less. My normal charge for doing these conversions is $850 complete. I've done many of these over the past few years, and don't know that I would even know that I would even want to to a stator replacement again after knowing what I know now. do your homework before you decide. There are enough guys on this site that can coach you through either job you choose. Good luck!
