    Generator repair

    I just pulled the business card for Rich Brown off the corkboard and dialed the number but it appears to be non-working. Anybody know anything about whether he's still in business?

    Don't know about Rich Brown but IndianFrank@yahoo.com.
    Indian Frank Vandevelde (1-618-937-4979 indianfrank@yahoo.com) can rebuild an Autolite generator, or do the 12 volt conversion for you.

      I hope Rich Brown is still doing H-D generators. He rebuilt the genny for my '51FL and it was a first-class job and looks great too. Anxious to hear if he's still at it.

        Me too. Still no response concerning him. He's done a lot of work for me, and it's always been top shelf. Knowledgeable too. he turned me on to the model 52 genny I have in my '55 panhead, the one that has the nomenclature stamped into the case, no tag.

          Agreed, Frank is the best. Rebuilt my Indian 4 and Henderson generators to 12 volt perfection

            I had 2, 32E generators rebuilt last year by Dale Cashman out of Louisiana, MO. His Email Address is: harleyrepairman@yahoo.com if you would like his other contact information. (Phone# / Address) let me know and I can get it to you. Dale did an awesome job for me and IMO was very reasonable in price. Dale had done 2 32E generators for me back in the mid 90's when I put my 2 old Harleys together (42WLA & 46WL) and back on the road and those generators are still running strong.

            I also had Rich Brown do one for me a few years ago just to have on hand as a backup.

              just a quick correction. I noticed that the phone number in the ad in the recent magazine for Rich Brown is different from the one on the business card i have in the shop. Didn't know the number had changed. Cheers....Omar
