Electosport makes the stators I've been looking at.
They used to make a 400w that was very problematic. They actually still had it listed on their website until a week or two ago when I emailed and asked for info on it. Then it was magically deleted from the site overnight and I was told they don't make it anymore. LOL They also have a 280w, and from what I can find, that has been a pretty stable unit. That's the one I'm considering, but you're right, I'm always leery of *aftermarket* electrical stuff like that.

We are getting older and tired of riding uncomfortable sportbikes and found a way to be a hooligan without having to worry about speeding tickets. Off road riding is a blast.

It's been a while since I swapped bikes, so I didn't know about the 280w version. All the problems I've heard about were with the 400w one.

Re the dual sport thing: also, once you get the adventure bug and realize most of the roads on the planet aren't paved, the decision to buy a dual sport becomes a no brainer.

And congrats. I still think the BMW would have been better, but I totally see your reasoning for the KLR. At that price, it could be your bike just for this trip and the occasional punishment ride.

Speaking of which . . . you should come down to Clayton for this year's dual sport ride. October 14th-17th at Clayton State Park.

Congrats on the new bike.
It sounds like an awesome trip and this is just the machine for it. Need a bigger garage yet? |
