    POWER UPGRADE...3 Phase MOSFET regulator/electrical supply upgrade

    I have a 2007 max iv with the 27 hp Kawasaki (model # FD750D-CS02) engine and I’m looking to upgrade my electrical power supply before I re-wire and add lights. Was looking to go the normal alternator route until I found this thread: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/engin...o-problem.html
    This certainly seems to be a viable option that not only saves space, its virtually just a part swap compared to finding the best place for fabricating mounts for an alternator. Has anyone done this on a max? I spoke to an experienced hot rod bike shop owner friend of mine and he didn’t feel there was any reason to believe this would not work well. My understanding is these newer units add just about twice the power of the factory unit, run cooler, have an automatic shut off built in so you don’t create electricity when not needed, they create more useable current at lower RPM's, and it's cheaper than the traditional fabrication route for an alternator (unless you already have a spare alternator laying around). I also understand that this swap does not require a particular unit for a particular motor, as long as it’s a 3 phase unit, it will suffice. Most of us wanting additional electrical power don’t really need (or will use) all of the power that an alternator can provide. This is also a swap that any person could do even if they don’t have much mechanical skill, so it’s a good project that IMHO should be a sticky after all of the particulars are done. I am looking for input, thanks.

    Power upgrade---12 volt

    Nice to be able to get the advice of a personal friend in a hot rod bike shop. I had heard of this recently but kinda assumed it was too good to be true.If you install this we will be waiting anxiously to hear your report!
