You may have an alternative. Sometimes you can find a local shop that will rewind the alternators. Or you can use Electrex. They appear to specialize in motorcycle alternators and regulators. I just checked out there website, they don't appear to have Triumphs listed as a brand, but they do offer to rewind the alternator for less than $200. Their website is: http://www.electrexusa.com/electrex_rewinding.html
