does he have a p/n and mfg'r? As I went to 3 alternator/gen shops and they did not have any or could not lead me in the right direction

 

I know I am dredging up an old thread, but, I had the same problem with a broken idler gear.

Called all the Harley shops and got the same answer ... NLA

I remember a friend that works at a starter generator shop telling me that it was the same type starter as used on some Toyotas
so after a little research I came up with a Toyota part number that looks like it will fit.

Toyota # 28254 64130

Here is a parts blow-up of the Toyota starter..

Looks a lot like our Harley starters.

anyway I ordered an idler gear from the Toyota dealer and they said it might take a couple days to get the part

$11.78 ......

we will see how it fits.

 

I also will dredge up this old thread, I am thankful NitroBerserker took the time to look this up and post the part number. I replaced the starter clutch on the wife's Dyna and found a tooth broke on this gear.

Not seeing a reply if the part works or not I went ahead and order the Toyota # 28254 64130 ($8.00 + $17.00 shipping) and it is an exact match. A lot better than replacing a $360.00 starter for an $8.00 gear.
