Cycle Electric DGV-2569 12V standard charge rate generator for Harley-Davidson 1936-1984

Cycle Electric's DGV-2569 12V generator is designed to bolt right into vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycles from 1965 to 1981—but it's a killer upgrade for many earlier bikes. The DGV-2569 is the go-to standard for genny-equipped motorcycles. Stop rebuilding old junk from the swap meet and bolt in reliability!

This generator can 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 DGV-2569 has a long service life, and Cycle Electric Inc. services what they sell—if you ever need repair, they work on the items they build. This is the last generator you will have to buy for your bike! The DGV-2569 will keep electric start bikes starting easily and crisply. This generator is designed to replace the -65A generator.

The DGV-2569 can be augmented with a regulator. Use our end-bell style 108-0125 (Cycle Electric P/N CE-540) for a complete charging system upgrade to a modern rectifying regulator.

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):

1965-1981 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 generator 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).
This generator can be used in 1982-1984 models (Hitachi generator) with modification. When replacing these -65B generators, purchase and install OEM P/N 31035-58 oil deflector with existing drive gear.
When replacing 1936-1957 three-brush generators use OEM P/N 31035-58 oil deflector. Discard spring and old deflector.
