1991 Honda ST1100 failed alternator total loss electrical system with massive battery in trunk

Alternator finally gave at @113k miles, red-necked large battery in trunk and charge it once a week.

Your daily commute oddly reminds me of the Apollo 13 mission. Way to go.

Loveland we have a problem.

Good job, I like your out-of-the-box solution. Keep alive the beast as long as you can.

Nice bike cache!
I'd like to see a ride / review of each one 😎

[@pureblood2020]

Don't take this the wrong way, but that is the most hillbilly shit I have every seen. LOL

[@lr882027]

Hardly, i'm just using a big battery to power the electrics.

[@ivanrivera9933]

Good job 😂

[@lr882027]

Over 117,000 miles and still going strong, headlight is now LED, bike will do over 250 miles on a single charge as long as it's not too cold.

Chuck the 28amp alternator, install a 40amp air cooled alt end of story.

Maybe put a little solar charger on top of the topbox? interested to hear how long you keep it going!

[@lr882027]

I thought about that but in the end I just plug it into the trickle charger each night, which doesn't quite charge it all the way but it will fully charge over the weekend cos I don't ride it then. I tend not to ride it on GSXR Friday either.

[@chriskwakernaat2328]

can't use a car alternator like people do with old goldwings?

[@lr882027]

Nowhere to put it

It´s a solution, poor, but maybe valid for small voyages
