Power dynamo upgrade

Post by lasse »

Am I right that the GT750 can also be used on the GT380?`

For the GT750, powerdynamo replaces the alternator & installs on the right side.
Even if it would fit on the GT380's right side, the plastic timing gear was never intended to take the forces involved.

For the GT550, powerdynamo replaces the alternator & installs on the left side.
The GT380 & GT550 use the same alternator.

So it looks like the powerdynamo system for the GT550 should work for the GT380.
But perhaps others can provide more insight.

Thank you :)

I contacted power dynamo, they're currently working on a GT380 system, so I'm holding off a bit to get it confirmed. Its a lot of money if it doesn't work?
