Anyone have a spare working alternator rotor out there for an airhead?

It is a 1984 R100RT. It is my understanding that any Airhear rotor from 1970 on will fit.
Motorrad Elektrik sells new ones for $125. Rebuilt for $95. BMW, of course sells them for $400+.

Alternator generates 250w, typical Bosch charging system.

I just figured if anyone here had one lying around, i'd give them a few bucks for it.

Thanks Hacksaw, I just found an extra rotor from a friend at work. Thanks again.

Great! I don't have a lot of 70 and later BMW stuff but I do have some for sure. Glad to help you if I'm able. Would you like a 48' semi trailer load of pre-70 to post-1950 BMW stuff?
