Cycle Electric DGV-5000L low-voltage generator (with regulator) for Harley-Davidson 1936-1984

Cycle Electric DGV-5000L low voltage generator is designed to bolt right into vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycles from 1965 to 1984—but it's a killer upgrade for many earlier bikes. This is a complete charging system: a generator equipped with a Cycle Electric end-bell regulator.

The DGV-5000 is the go-to standard for genny-equipped motorcycles. Stop rebuilding old junk from the swap meet and bolt in reliability! The “L” (low voltage) package is perfect for a chopper that has minimal electrical draw. This "L" version of the DGV-5000 is equipped with a low-voltage regulator 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 airflow is a perfect storm to boil off your battery's electrolyte.

This can also be used on older machines (pre-'65) when converting from a 6-volt system to 12-volt. (See fitment notes.) For added convenience, this generator is built for cradle clearance if being used on 1957-and-earlier models.

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.

1965-Early 1984 Harley-Davidson Sportster
1965-1969 Harley-Davidson Big Twin

Fitment notes for non-direct applications:

The bolt pattern on Harley generators is the same on all years, but ¼-24 thread inserts (not included) need to be installed into the generator to use on 1957-and-earlier machines. (Or you can modify your cases to accept the larger hardware.)
This charging system can be run without a battery, though it's not recommended.
Gasket, paper shims, gears, deflectors, roll pins, mounting hardware, and cradle are not included.
If you are converting a 6V motorcycle to 12V, you will need an extensive list of parts including bulbs, battery, and ignition coil.
This generator may require polarizing (flashing).
