You said: "So alternator is black, brown, and black?"
I think you meant black, brown and green - which is correct
So if my connections are correct, then the R/R must be suspect
Thanks for the help
The two brown wires are already spliced together from the factory
The black is the AC common, so voltage is between black and green, and black and brown
Here is how I currently have it wired:
I recently resurrected this SS350 from perhaps decades of storage
All is well except the battery is not being recharged
I have a bar mounted volt meter to verify this
The original R/R was toast so I am using one of the pit bike units as shown below
The 'Macchi has two alternator coils - one for...
Here is how it looks now
Still needs foot pegs, tires and spokes
The tires that are on it are the original Pirellis
Does any know where to get the Ceriani forks rebuilt?
Teazer - Thanks for the compliment
The frame and swingarm are too narrow
Both mounting points surround the shock eye, unlike some bikes on which the shock bolts are cantilevered
Most shocks that I have looked at online have a 22mm width
The EMGO shocks for Nortons are 19.1mm and are a perfect fit
FYI, I bought a set of EMGO 17-05592 shocks
They are intended for Norton Commandos
The bushings are 19.1 mm wide with a 9.5 mm diameter ID
Since the upper mount has two clearance holes per, I used 3/8-16 bolts
The lower mount is threaded on one side for the bolt
The shock bushings were just...
OK, after more research I believe that the "standard" width for the eyes on European bikes is 18 mm
Can anyone recommend a less pricey alternative to the Hagons?
Are Redwings any good?
This bike will never be used on a track and will only be ridden for fun on the road
I am looking for replacement shocks for this 1974 "Harley" Aermacchi SS350.
The eyes are 10mm ID, but they are only about 19mm wide.
Hagon lists replacements but they are pricey.
Anyone know of where I can find something else? - I am not interested in replacing them with another OEM set.
