Because they bolt straight on and are higher output. 90A from memory. The power terminal is 8mm diameter and it is obviously insulated from the alternator body. It is right beside the 2 pin plug and has an adapter which points the terminal at 90deg. This is where the red wire will go. I added another wire the same diameter as the factory one and put it in parallel. No point having a higher output alternator if the cable between it the battery is too small!
