Frequently Asked Questions
What's the advantage over a stock stator?
Higher heat resistance (600°F), better charging at idle, and upgraded plug terminals that won't swell or separate.
Will this fit my 1979 or 1989+ Big Twin?
This part is specific to 1981-1988 Big Twin models. Check your year before ordering — fitment does not extend beyond this range.
Does this prevent battery drain at a stop?
Yes — the improved low-speed output helps maintain charging even when the engine is idling, reducing slow battery discharge.
How long does a Cycle Electric stator last?
With lower operating temperatures and quality construction, these stators typically outlast stock units significantly.
