It converts alternator AC to regulated DC and helps maintain steady charging under typical riding conditions. Before installing, compare the part number and connector shape with your existing module to ensure compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Harley models does this part replace?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OLIFANT 74505-02 is compatible with many 2002–2003 Harley touring motorcycles, covering Electra Glide and Road King family variants including standard, classic, police, and Ultra Classic trims. Compatibility centers on matching the original part number and harness connections.
