Kurt,
Thats what I said:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-HONDA-HIGH-OUTPUT-ALTERNATOR-GOLDWING-GL1500-95-AMP-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3363e2ab9bQQitemZ220719131547QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
Note to self: if I ever get an Aspencade and have to put a 95
amp alternator on it - its time to remove a few electrically run toys
from the bike. Do I really need a mobile HAM + CB + Satellite radio
and subwoofer?
Just a thought.
-Joey
