Hi all, I just signed up today to ask about alternators.
But, I'm Dave (Hi Dave!). I'm a mechanical engineer near Madison, WI. I've got a 1997 Bandit 1200S that I bought in 2000 from a fellow who kept it as his European bike, so it's got lots of exotic stickers on the Givi bags that I didn't put there. It now has 52,000 miles on it and is a little rough around the edges. But, I'm keeping it up, and have a few projects in mind for this winter, including a fuel cell and auxiliary lights (Hella FF50s).
I'll be riding most of the winter, though I'm being a bit cautious about deer around here. Perhaps I'll see you around.
Dave
