Re: WANTED:::: Need good used model 58 generator frame
One other thing to think about..
The armature on a model 58 is different than a model 61, the shaft where it rides on the bushing is a different diameter than a needle bearing shaft. It is slight, but I was remembering last night that they differed and verified with the parts books. So care must be taken when swapping parts around. Very like the difference in Panhead cams for bushing in the crankcase or needle bearing, they differ. One of the bike reasons for cracked cases and spun bushings. Folks randomly replacing cams without properly sizing them.

Thanks for the pic, that's a big help in looking for that part.

I have a complete Model 58 that I'd sell. I don't really need to trade. I have about a dozen spare generators and don't need another one. I can e-mail pics?
