    Howdy!,
    Saw some of your comments regarding alternators on the vtx, in a forum. I have a few questions, if that is OK.
    I am trying to learn about the workings of the alternator in the 04 vtx1300, without actually tearing it apart.
    Looks like, from the manual, that the stator is built into the alternator cover. And, it looks like the stator gets surrounded by the 'flywheel' once the cover is reattached to the crankcase. Correct so far?
    Like the name implies, does the flywheel do the turning and the stator stay in place?
    Does the flywheel contain permanent magnets or are there electromagnets involved in this alternator?
    Other than the mechanical alignment of the outer case with the crankcase, what keeps the stator aligned with the flywheel? There does not appear to be a central shaft for the 2 parts of the alternator.
    Do many or most Honda motorcycles use a similar alternator to the vtx?

    I'm new to the forum and I haven't done my proper introduction yet. I'm waiting till I finish up something for an exhaust before I do. I've been following your post on here and vtxoa about your sydewynder exhaust mod you've done. To be honest, I don't see why anyone else on either forum has taken much interest in doing this. Have you taken any videos of your mod or any more pics? I understand what it is you did to the "T". I'm just looking for a little more visual aids before I go after this. Big question I have about it, is the actual pipe a 4" diameter. I'm wondering if the tips will slip in or on the outside of the exhaust or if they're both 4"o.d. Thanks ahead for any info you give me!!!
