82 sportster generator

J&P cycles has no listing for an 82 hi out put generator, can an earlier generator be used, if you also change the regulator? What is the difference between 52-81 and 82-85 generators? Are the parts and complete generators a dealer only piece? Thanks Neil

v twins carrys a altanator that pugs into gen hole have used a few. great product. hope u the best

Thanks for the reply XLR. I would prefer to leave stock and was wondering what the difference's were and if parts are interchangeable or available?
