:thank_you: The belt is a Gates K030310, I got it from Parts Avatar.ca. This is the same place I ordered the Alternator from. The belt was not expensive and the Alternator was $118.00 cnd. I think they are located in your neck of the woods

Well, I have finally finished working on the Aspencade for now. The alternator conversion is completed. I did manage to go for a short ride yesterday and found this bike to run and ride really nice. I have 14 volts at idle running a 4 inch crank pulley and with 55 watts I can start saving for heated grips and vest. Things I found while doing this project:
The belts were way too tight causing too much heat contributing to the pulse generators dying.
The fan was coming on at 3 bars, possibly contributing to the stator failing.
Yes the lowers fit as original, I did have to use a heat gun on the left side to mould in a small amount of clearance.
This reconfirms why you should put new belts on a new to you Oldwing
Thanks to Dan for suggesting the 2 to 1 ratio for the alternator drive. And thanks to all that have posted pictures and talked about their conversions. I will post pictures soon as I have time.. :yahoo:
Next project is rebuilding the starter on the Interstate.
