First of all I´d like to thank you so much for such great videos and important information you provide to us (HD owners). I´m from Mexico City and proudly own a 1995 HD Road King. My questions is regarding the alternator. The manual states that for Harley alternator replacement it is necessary first remove both, the primary chain sprocket and the clutch as a component but I´ve been told you change the alternator by only removing the primary chain sprocket and not the clutch. Is it really mandatory to remove both components and why? Thank you in advance and, once again, Congratulations for such great information.
Ricardo, you do not need to remove your clutch assembly to replace your charging system. Removing your compensating sprocket assembly and the lock nut from your primary chain adjuster, will allow you enough room to replace your stater and rotor. Good question. Thanks – Dennis

I have 2013 street glide and the charging indicator shows it will not charge and the battery ck engine light comes on...then after a few minutes will start charging again and the lights go out..unfortunately this only happens while riding and nowhere near a place to have cked out..any suggestions or should I consider replacing the rectifier
Thanks Guys, I have a 2009 Road Glide and am upgrading the compensator to the 42200064A and it says to do this I need to change the stator hub to 30041-08A. My question is can I just replace the hub with one from a 2014 when they changed the hub for the new compensator?
1973 shovel and going to replace stator does the shaft extension of the compensator come off with the rotor and the manual does say inner primary does need to be removed or can I do this swap without removal Thank you for your time Randy
