[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 116723, member: 456"] I see that you are using the same alternator that I have been fitting recently for the 'Walkernator'. I drive it at double engine speed on twins to ensure that it starts to charge at low revs. I also use a multi vee belt drive to take out some of the shock loads which are inherent to the standard Vincent dynamo drive. I could not mount my system as low as yours because of the standard gearbox top and yours looks very neat, Once you have it on the road I will be interested to learn about its performance with regards to shock loading the primary drive and low speed charging cut in speed.
