I was just wondering is there anyone in michigan hopefully not to far away from me that has done a conversion on a 1200.
I would like to see a conversion that has been done not just pictures to get a better idea if I can do it myself.
I have a little fear of starting surgery on my girl (Stella) 1986 GL1200 asp and not being able to complete it.
I live near Standish about 30 miles north of Bay City.
Is there anyone of you close to that?
Thanks Jerry

my dad had property in sterling, mi. before he pass. i was thinking about doing the alt conversion on my 1200 but the stator was replaced by the po. i may still get the poorboy kit just to be ready incase the stator fails

I am about 3 miles east of Sterling detdr.
I found a new 40 amp one wire alt online only 4 inches dia. and 4-1/2 inches long.
My daughter is comming on leave soon and has not seen or rode on the wing yet so i will wait until after that to start the conversion.
But I think that is the way I am going.

we would leave the property in sterling and go over to standish to go to kmart or sometimes we would go to west branch
