65-69 Big Twin; 65-84 XL Sportster (NU)
Part Description
Cycle Electric, 12-Volt generator. Built-in regulator. Black
Standard output. With built-in electronic voltage regulator. High quality USA made. Custom replacement for OEM 29975-65B generator. Note: See 926825 (78-81 XL) or 926826 (82-E84 XL) for XL Sportster connector plug for electronic regulators. Allows retaining stock wiring on XL models. Note: See 926726 for replacement electronic regulator only. Note: Will also fit 36-84 H-D when converting to 12 Volt. When replacing 65B generator (82-E84 Hitachi), add H-D #31035-58 (MCS 555773) oil deflector. Same gear can be re-used. Note: See 926745 for the special Low Output version, designed to help prevent overcharge for models with hot batteries (read: battery mounted in horse shoe oil tank). Tech tip: Generator polarizing. With the motor off connect the 'F' terminal to ground and momentarily flash the 'A' terminal with positive. Remove ground from 'F' terminal. If you have properly installed a working regulator it will turn on and ground the 'F' terminal in which case you will not need to use an external ground. Caution! Do not flash the 'F' terminal. This will damage the regulator. Do not connect the battery to the Field (F terminal) as this will polarize the generator backwards. Generators in general don't forget their polarization so it is not necessary to polarize a generator from Cycle Electric Inc. unless it was connected to a battery backwards or inadvertently polarized backwards after it left the factory. Only after a long time period generators can struggle to come up and polarization can be a good idea.
