Cycle Electric CE-540L 12V low-voltage regulator for Harley-Davidson 1936-1984

Why take a chance on some used part from the swap meet? There's a reason that electrical part is laying on a tarp for just a few dollars. Instead, why not take the task of electrical system diagnosis off your plate and bolt in reliability?

The Cycle Electric CE-540L is specifically designed to seamlessly fit on the end of your 12-volt -65A OEM Harley generator, ensuring both a neat appearance and modern charge regulation functionality. By adding this regulator to your existing generator, you can experience performance similar to the Cycle Electric DGV-5000, as long as your stock generator is not weak/worn out. 

The housing of the CE-540L is a structural part of the generator containing one of the armature bearings and features a current-limiting circuit that monitors the temperature of the armature and adjusts the current accordingly. As the temperature increases, the current decreases proportionally. This unique feature allows for higher output after a cold start, enabling faster battery recharging. (It's possible for the battery to recover in as quickly as five minutes instead of 20.) 

This particular Cycle Electric low voltage regulator is perfect for a chopper that has minimal electrical draw. This "L" iteration of the CE-500 series is specially tuned for a small 12-volt battery. This is important when using a small battery in a horseshoe oil tank—heavy charging plus hot oil plus little air-flow is a perfect storm to boil off your battery's electrolyte.

Cycle Electric products are made right here in Ohio, USA. Research the best electrical parts you can put on an antique Harley-Davidson—this manufacturer is one folks ask for by name.

    • These are not recommended for aftermarket generators. Some aftermarket generators units are not made to OEM specifications.
    • This regulator can be run without a battery, though it's not recommended.
    • This regulator is a 12V unit made to fit the -65A OEM generator, often found retrofitted into earlier motorcycles.
    • Your generator may require polarizing (flashing) after installation.
