Years ago, running 24hrs bike races, we would take the stator off the crank end, and install a pulley, on the crank shaft, cut out about 40% of the top of case cover for belt clearance . You will only need a pulley slightly larger then the alternator you will be using. Shot for around a 12k avg. alternator RPM. The hardest part will be putting a taper in the pulley hub to match the crank. With a V4 you may need an idler pulley, sent you have to run a much longer belt. davew
Hmm. I think I get what you’re saying. Would it not work to directly couple to the end of that shaft with some type of adapter? Would the rpm be too low then? I have the room to go straight out the end without having to use a belt if it’s possible.

What all are you running that you would need more than the 30a (or 36a)? Have you thought about switching to LED lights to lower your amp pull?
I have an electric fan (so far just one but might be two later), 044 fuel pump (might end up being another if I use this in the surge tank), electric water pump, digital dash running PI, water pump for water intercooler, plus all the usual equipment.
Not sure if I’ll need something yet, haven’t checked all the ratings
