Source for alternator

The alternator on my 1986 model is not charging. I took it to local alternator repair shop and they can not find the parts to repair it.
Is there a source for a good alternator?

I just Googled "Kawasaki Voyager 1200 alternator" and saw a number of them pop up. Can't speak to the quality of them, but if you oherwise get stuck it might be worth a shot. Below is one that will fit a 1986 -

It is my understanding that some of the cheaper alternators have bushings instead of roller or needle bearings,just beware of that possibility. :hmm:
The life of those would be shorter. :cry2:

Can find them around. My local alternator repair place got a new one for me 2 yrs ago for $200. It was a Mitsubishi which is what Kawa used. Found this place but they are out of stock right now.
