Re sourcing Silent Hektik F4112 for USA, possibly this motor cycle trader in UK would source and ship them to USA.
http://www.motoguzzisales.co.uk/index.htm
They do ship another (different) Silent Hektik part all over the world according to their site. Possibly they could obtain the F4112 and ship to US?

So I'm not sure you will be able to get more amps out of the SH
|
The Rotax permanent magnet alternator (dynamo) is the limiting factor. If the dynamo is loaded to its maximum, it could get very warm. Excess heat will shorten its life. ASTM standards limit alternator output to 80 percent of its maximum capacity.

Your experience please
John, assuming that you have used this VR for more than one year, could you up-date this discussion with a report on ts performance so far? Sure sounds good.

The SH is still working great. I think I have over 100 hours on it.

Do a forum search.....there is a motorcycle shop in UK that will send them to US. That is where I got mine.

Dito. Mine just reached a 100 hours, too. Here's a write-up of my installation and the slight changes about the cooling that I made.
It is working flawlessly ever since I put it in.

I just heard from the Moto Guzzi shop in the U.K. and they will ship the unit to the states. The price is $230 plus $50 shipping.
