My current bike is a Suzuki C50 Boulevard (800cc), and have always loved the look of the Indians (and Kawasaki Drifters). I just got back into riding after a 35 year hiatus, and the larger bikes were just too much to restart on. So after two years of riding my C50 (including a cross country last September), I feel I'm ready to go up to a bigger bike. The last month has been spent researching this and other forums and cruising the 'net to find any problems with the Drifters, and so far the only one that I can't seem to find a solution for is the undersized stator (23 amp).

My C50 has a similar output, and I find I have to cut off my driving lights (4") when running with my heated gear on cold days to keep from draining my battery. Does anybody have a fix (or replacement stator) that can up the output to a regular 1600 Vulcan (43 amps)? I know there are replacement stators that can give you up to 20% more (claimed), but not almost doubling it.

Unless I find a solution, I guess I have to settle on a regular Vulcan 1600. Any ideas out there?
