    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rebuilding/repairing GS1100E signal generator

I'm in the process of repairing a damaged signal generator assembly on a 1980 GS1100E. The signal rotor worked loose on the road (my fault) and broke off a fin. The generator is basically OK, except the magnets under the pickups are broken. The rotor needs replacing.

Naturally, all the parts outfits don't want to talk about a bike this old. I wouldn't bother, but the rest of the engine's recently overhauled. I promised myself I'd get 100K out of my old buddy, and that last 17K is playing hard to get.

Can anyone give me some direction? Used parts, alternate config's, old inventory in Ohio?

Thanks in advance.
 
Your termonoligy is incorrect I AM assuming you are talking about the rotor & stator = charging altenator. The early 1100 would have the small crank end ? so that would give you more options.

No. I am referring to the right-hand end of the crankshaft.

Thanks for trying.
