R1 Alternator
Is the alternator integral to the engine?

Cheers (again!) Chris.
I assumed it was, but guesswork has already bitten my arse too many times during my project.
Does the standard one handle the extra lighting requirements for a car?

If you think about it there isnt really much additional lighting requirement, most modern superbikes like the R1 have a pair of 60w headlamps, so the
only real difference is going to be one addtional rear side/brake light anda fog light when it's on, so as long as you aren't running
things like heaters and stereos etc, there's not a lot of difference in load to the bike.

It's worth checking what the standard alternator chucks out though.... 40A???
My little ST1100 (pre96) chucks out 28A which is pretty crap!!!
