Generator DGV-5000-LH 12 Volt Low Voltage for 1936-1964 Generator Model Harley-Davidsons w/Heli Coi

Cycle Electric DGV-5000-LH 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 "LH" 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—the "H" designation reflects that this genny has been fitted with reducing thread inserts in the mounting holes. These inserts allow the use of the original ¼-24 mounting bolts used on 1957-and-earlier motors without having to split or modify your cases.

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

Fitment notes for non-direct applications:

• ¼-24 thread inserts can be removed to use on 1958-and-newer models
• 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).
