Listers,
since a short time a German spare parts supplier (Limora) is offering an
AC alternator built in the housing of the original DC dynamo. They state
"double power / half weight / no modifications / looks original /
built-in regulator / charges at stationary rpm." The price, however, is
rather frightening : 690 Euro's.
