It works!
Here is a pic of my completed alternator conversion.
I borrowed heavily from many posters on how to go about the process.
I used a smaller unit and followed the lead of Sundance in fabricating a bottom bracket to suit.

That's a very nice looking install. What size pulley did you use and does it charge at idle?

Bill:
I used Don's pulley from the new kit Poorboy Toys.(3-1/2") ?
I chose a little Nipp alternator that is used in forklifts and Kubota's
Sonny at the alternator shop bench tested it - showed 55 amps.
At idle I get 12.5
At 1,100 rpm - 13
At 1340 - 14
From 1340 up it stays at 14.40

Exactly, I added the sylvania (silverstar?) headlite bulb, headlite modulator,backoff unit, side fairing marker lites and trunk turn signals.
I already had driving lites on it.
You can definitely see me coming - and going!
