VAPE 12V Alternator Conversion 17mm

The VAPE (pronounced VaahPeh) is a top quality, European product that will “modernize” the electrical systems on your classic BMW, providing improved reliability, performance as well as passive and active safety. This set will replace the entire charging system with reliable, modern components, and also upgrade your bike’s electrical system from 6 to 12 Volts.

The set consists of a complete 12V system including Rotor, Stator, Regulator, and other hardware, completely replacing the stock 6V alternator (including diode plate and regulator). Additionally, there is no need for changes to the engine casing. This D/C system will run head lights, tail lights, turn signals and charge the battery. It is a magnet based alternator with integrated solid state ignition; output at 12V/150W DC. The alternator is brushless, so there are no parts to wear out, making this system maintenance free.
