Very interesting work. Can you give some more details about the "Generator"?
What parts were used? What did you have to do to adapt it? What is the wattage output? This seems like an apt adaptation for a race bike where you want to minimize rotating mass.
Also...if your oil filter adapter continues to work, maybe you should consider production. Great idea.

a 900SS and a few other modern Ducatis can easily be shoehorned/adapted into place and provide all the juice you'll ever need
the earlier ones are about 150 watts and have all the same dimensions except they are much thinner
they came out of the square case and bevel engines
the new ones I am talking about have the magnet rotor captured by the stator
some of the other models have the magnetic rotor external to the stator

I am curious as to what the smallest size alternator/generator in terms of weight which can be used and still run all the electrics...including an electronic ignition. It can even be 6V.
Most of the current aftermarket stuff, understandably gives a bump in Wattage (and weight) over the stock set-up. But I don't think anyone has looked at substitutes from other bikes for a lightweight alternative.

you can regulate to any voltage you want but 12V is far more effective than 6V
fwiw... I've putzed about with several many alternative charging options for and of many different bikes

Don't really need 300 watts, But if the Ducati alternator is smaller/lighter than the stock set-up that might be OK.
