I ended up taking it to the local start / alternator rebuilding place here in Honolulu. It cost me $200 but was done in about 2 hours. They replaced everything they could in the thing. They gave me a 2 year warranty and my bike is back on the road. I]m sure I could have done the rebuild myself but it would have probably taken me a day and I wouldn't have replaced all the aprts they did. It was worth the $200 and I'm back on the road in less than a day.
