ELECTRICAL PARTS - MAIN POWER
|
Alternators - When a replacement rotor is needed, the new 6 pole, welded center rotor supersedes all the earlier versions. Replacement stators are available from both Lucas and aftermarket suppliers.

Alternator/Control Kits - Sparx is a "far eastern" company
making replica and upgraded electrical parts for vintage British
motorcycles. The quality of their products that we have seen, or
have had feedback on, equals or exceeds that of the original factory
equipment. They currently offer two complete kits that include a
stator, rotor and solid state rectifier/regulator. The single phase
kit is the simpler and less expensive of the two. The three phase is
probably a better choice for those living in areas that require
daylight headlights or who run high wattage headlights. Single phase rotor and stator from Sparx - #E108 High output 3 phase rotor, stator and rec/reg from Sparx - #E109 |
Solid State Rectifier-Regulator Units - Much of the “reliability” problem associated with British bikes related to the electrics.
Many of the problems encountered during the classic era can be eliminated by careful assembly (preventing wiring from rubbing against sharp edges, etc.)
and by switching to modern solid-state electronic rectifier/regulator combination. They will greatly improve your electrical systems reliability
and are small enough to be hidden from view if you wish to keep the bikes stock appearance or minimize the wiring in view on a custom cafe model.
Three styles are offered to choose from:
|
Podtronics - Designed to work with either positive or negative ground systems. The electronics are epoxy encapsulated into a heavily finned,
gray aluminum case with built-in mounting holes. Measures 2 3/4” x 2 3/4” x 1 1/4”. Single Phase - #E091 Single Phase High Output - #E092 Three Phase - #E093 |
 |
Tympanium - Works with either positive or negative ground systems. Epoxy encapsulated into a plain aluminum case with mounting holes.
Measures 2 1/4” x 3 1/4” x 3/4” - Single Phase - #E090
Booster Capacitor - Used to make starting easier for coil ignition models with a weak battery or that have been converted to battery less operation. Also reduces lights flickering at idle or blowing out at speed. - #E015
Lucas Bullet Connectors
Male bullet connector, solder type - #E035
Single female connector - #E036
Double female - #E037
Triple female - #E038
Rubber Tie Downs - Traditional pre-plastic rubber tie downs as used by the factories to locate small wiring harnesses. A must for that 100% restoration. - #E130
Wiring Harnesses - We can supply factory style harnesses for most popular British models - call for price and availability.
Leak Proof Batteries - Though you can get most British models to run OK battery less, the advantages of a small battery on a sports
bike greatly outweigh the weight penalty. Our preference is one of the new generation of leak proof models, Though more expensive than standard
batteries, not having to repaint, replate or replace parts ruined by battery acid is worth the extra cost. In addition, these batteries can be
mounted in any position including upside down. One now sits on our racer. The
higher amp hour batteries show are an excellent choice for more standard models
and or where improved lighting or horns are fitted.
Batteries are shipped dry and you must add the acid (supplied) and trickle
charge them Once this is doe the acid is absorbed and the battery becomes leak
proof. The dimensions shown are Width x Depth x Height. Both they and the
weights listed are approximate. Pro Sport batteries are somewhat less expensive
that the Yuasa.
