[QUOTE="purplecatty, post: 937620, member: 15188"] Hi everyone, I bet I'm new in Automotive section in AllDeaf.com lol. I am always in Deaf Technology and Computer sections. I do not see "Motorcycle" section so I just jump in Automotive cuz motorcycle is part of transportation anyway. I have 74' Harley Sportster in my garage belongs to my friend. He bought it and had no place to park during winter season so I welcomed it to my warm garage lol. He asked me to re-do wiring that owner crapped up. It fires up and runs great. 883 V-twin been bored to .30 and rebuilt. It was partly stripped down, no turn signal lights, horn, and front fender. It has original headlight and new sleek LED brake/parking light on rear. It's kinda like old schooler some way. It has pipes, no muffler. It shook my house when fired up. Love that Thump Thump Thump... I rode it around my neighborhood and seeing some guy was getting jealous over me riding thumping bass harley. (City of Shawnee alllowed straight pipe harley for safety reason. It's Legal lol.) The real problem was that Harely isn't charging battery at all. I checked it's generator and it was new and charges fine directly to battery (Field to ground and Armature--->Ampmeter----> (+) side battery.). I narrowed down to faulty mechanical regulator. I decided to try using my old 67 chevy electronic voltage regulator as a subsitute.. Since that it uses Delco-Remy type regulator and have same wiring configuration. I already pre-wired the regulator so it would fit 3 wired charging system (Field, Armature, and Bat +). I found out that owner also wired the ignition wiring wrong. So I had to redo wiring on ignition part in order to have correct wiring for charging system. If I got the charging system working, then I will have to tear out relays on old mechanical regulator and modify to fit in electronic regulator board into old regulator base then bolt in chrome cover on it to make it look original. I haven't installed regulator into Harley yet. If anyone have experience on charging system. I welcome anyone advice. Thanks Catty [/QUOTE]
