What are his prices? Seems like the website is currently being rewound, aka under construction...

I paid $240.00 for the one in my '78 that included shipping.

There should be an 800 number on his web site you can call to get price for your specific bike.

Stators with CDI windings cost significantly more.

I recently had one for a GL500 rewound for around $90.

For the newcomers, see this writeup.

For future reference

This thread discusses rewind sources for those across the pond:
http://choppercharles.com/cs/forums/90169/ShowPost.aspx

It seems that West Country Windings is not so highly recommended anymore. Several alternatives are discussed.

Don't forget Rick's Motorsport Electrics stators.

I have his rewinds in two of my bikes, and his build quality is top notch.

http://www.ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/

CX500 Turbo, GL650I, Two CX650E's, and one Crown Jewel of the CX line- CX650T.

Why do I own five CX/GL bikes? Ask an alcoholic why he drinks.

Rick's is recommended in Dave's write up.

Surprisingly, Rick's rebuilds are cheaper elsewhere than his website.
On his site he wants $225 + shipping.  You can buy his stator from old bike barn for $202.50 + shipping.

Posting redundant Info in this thread, as it is linked from Stitch's "Must Read" sticky.

Stator Source rmstators.com

Canadian Company, cheapest stator I found, listed on Ebay for $100 USD with free shipping. (TI models)

The pics on their website and ebay are of electrex stators, but the actual product is not an electrex.  They wind their own, been in business 15 years.

It doesn't seem anyone has history on RM yet, so I will be guinea pig#1

Have you installed it yet?  If not, please take a few photos of it.

I'd like to include it in my writeup after you've put some miles on it.

BTW, a new stator from Ricks recently went for $50 on that notorious auction site.  It wasn't labeled as such but the item photo was unmistakable.

Yeah, it's in.  I might have taken a shot of it before hand, but I doubt it.  Will check the camera tonight.

Took it for an 80km round trip, worked great.
