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

Cycle Electric's 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 setup 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. This -BLK model features an attractive black finish on the generator and regulator body, unlike standard models which feature contrasting machined fins on the end of the reg.

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.

Fitment (direct bolt-in):

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).
