If the OP can find a way to adapt a GM three-wire alternator to his BMW
bike, he will never have to worry about finding Bosch alternator parts
again. That's a bit of a modification though, I suspect.


Three wire alternators are usually just a battery sensing device so not
difficult to modify the wiring for - unless I've got it wrong?



He's referring to the old style with a 3 wire cable going to an external
regulator. Bosch made those too, but when I encounter them I usually
swap to the later style alternator with an onboard regulator, one less
cable stringing around the engine bay.
