I'd like an alternator, too, just for the extra amps.
That said, the gen keeps up with the headlight, two spots, and an
electric vest on my Eldo, so I don't know why I would bother.

There was even fairly detailed instructions given in a web page, which I saved a local copy of. The sticky bit is the lathe work. Access to a lathe is, for me, only a little less difficult than access to a fissionable materials. (And I don't work in a power plant - I'm a computer programmer.) So the punchline: Does anybody make, or would they like to make, a bolt-on kit for the alternator upgrade? I understand that I'd be paying for convenience, so it would cost some $$$. What prompted this: I bought an electric vest (and just in time for spring, too!) and am worried that the stock electrical system may be, ummm, marginal for this application.
