Generator Rebuild Service?

All good now , Have a brand new Genny >>>>>

[D.A.Bagin]

I had Rich Brown do my Harley Shovelhead genny and Frank Vandevelde do my Indian Four genny with the distributor attached. Nothing but the best to say about both gentlemen. Frank was VERY helpful in helping a four cylinder neophyte. As anyone that has ventured into the four experience it can be intimidating in the beginning. He walked me right through over the phone from beginning to end and was great to deal with. After getting it back, I over-greased the gearing on my distributor on the four over time and filled it with grease. I sent it back to Frank as needless to say, it caused the genny to malfunction. He scolded me deservedly and took care of it. I learned my lesson.

Can you give me his address for his shop, Friend is visiting in Va. Beach for a couple more days. Shelby

Shelby,
If you look in our latest club mag, Vol.53 No. 3, page 84 top left corner it appears that Dale has moved to MO. The post you questioned was back in '09. Bob

From the responses I did not know there were so many choices.

I just had a scout 741 generator overhauled by Frank VanVelde.

It was done promptly and he returned a reconditioned generator very well done, along with helpful advice.
He was communicative and sincere.

I just rode down to Virginia Beach to drop off my generator to Dale Cashman. His shop is one of the neatest shops I have been in, looked like every tool and tester made is there. I rode in the rain for 5 hours so I could save the 10 dollars in postage. (remember its the journey).
anyway I could see why all recommend him if you ever get a chance to see his shop and some of his old bikes you would see why he does such good work.

thats my story and I'm sticking to it

Bills Custom Cycles

I picked up a rebuilt 32E from Bill Morris and it was done beautifully and pretested. $275 for the unit, which isn't bad considering they go for $150 - $250 at the meets without knowing if they work. If you happen to go pick it up in person, be sure to check out Bill's "old bike barn" museum. It's a remarkable collection of bikes, advertising and americana that he's collected over the years. He also has many many many NOS parts for Harley's.

i'll try him on the next ones----his website doesn't seem to be working---any idea on price of a 32E rebuild from dale?

I see Bill Morris@Bills old Bike Barn is selling rebuilt and pre tested generators on e-bay among other things VL motors and cylinders that have been reconditioned

[billpedalino]

I endorse Rich Brown. He and his son stand by their work and they really strive for perfection and period-accuracy. They really are a treasure trove of knowledge for all matters concerning H-D generators and electrical systems. It's a side-business for Rich and it was created for love rather than profit.

And yes, he's long time friend, so I'm far from impartial. But it's all true.

Cashman's the best, believe me I have tried them all and his are always spot on. Not only do they work flawlessly, but they are restored to perfection. Dale's the man.
