Hi guys, a friend (he seems to know his stuff very well)from another site has told me that he discovered a way to improve the current output of the Gold Wing alternator by modyfying the regulator/rectifier.
Here's what he say's to do: Install, "regulator rectifiers that work with a fully controlled 6-pulse bridge, that means everyone of the three phases of the alternator is symmetrically loaded and both the positive and the negative half of the AC current is rectified and used.
25 to 30 Amps should be possible without damaging the alternator by that method."
Is anyone here familiar enough with charging systems to elaborate on this improvement to the point that they could instruct me on how to actually perform this improvement?
He also said that a place in England called Newtronics has the components availble to do this modification to the Wing's charging system.
Any opinions or suggestions?
