The alternator on my old '96 Ural was a Russky unit. Looked like it was
carved from aluminum with stone implements. The regulator/rectifier
looked like a badly executed Heathkit. You actually had to flip a switch
under the seat to kill power to the field when you shut it off. It came
like that from the factory. I never had any problem with it though.
Hopefully, the newer ones have improved. The best part is that it was
gear driven from the cam.

Between you and Bob, I'm sure it will be a first rate product. I'm looking forward to the finished product. I noted that you have modified the timing chest cover on yours...will that be necessary on the version you are fabricating? On a side note, there was a new Ural motorcycle on the classic bike run yesterday here in Florida. It had a car-like alternator sitting right on top of the engine...pretty small in diameter, too. I have no idea how much power it put out or who manufactured it, but it was neat to see. Greg Field wrote:
