Mark, I use a piece of plastic milk container cut to fit around the rotor to ensure equal air gap.

Thanks Bryan - that's more sophisticated than a Rizla!

No reading on a AC voltmeter with the output leads disconnected?. The alternator is US.

Yes, I've just ordered a high output replacement from Mr H.

A happy ending: I fitted the new alternator and it's charging beautifully. I posted a photo on the Royal Enfield GB Facebook page as Photobucket will no longer co-operate with me here.

And I forgot to say thanks for all the helpful suggestions and bearing with this electrical novice while I tried to understand the basic principles involved!
