Hi All
Looking for an Alternator cover for my 03 Standard. Anyone know where one might be found??
Thanks

It's not that it can't be found, but do you want to pay the high price for a cover?
I'm still stripping/pulling off the chrome of a badly wrinkled cover. Then I'll just paint it black to match the bike. $6.

I insululated & installed a new one about 5,000 miles ago; so far, so good.

Didn't someone post about a process to chrome plastic and other stuff the other day? I saw it somewhere.

I just pulled mine off on Jade and cleaned the alternator. I figure it's running hot under there, better to let the cool air get to it. If I get a round tuit I just might work over the outside of the housing with a sander and the polisher & call it done. It's aluminum it will shine up right good. Actually I have a lo-mile OEM alternator off Deerslayer - replaced it with the Compufire when it had only a couple years use on it. Might just work on that one then slap it on when I get er shined up. It only needs the shining on one side - should be pretty easy. Good project for next week ifn I get my other projects done...
