+1 for the Emgo Dunstall replicas. They perform well and are fairly quiet. ( too quiet for me) The old local dealer used to put them on everything.

Interesting, again.  This is fun for me, "unwrapping" this info, and I appreciate your patient answers. 
Attached (I think) is a poor lighting pic from the front.  Making sense now.



picking away at things…slowly.
Ignition reinstalled.
Have a battery coming, and was thinking I’d order a mosfet VR, or use an extra one i have, but then remembered I have this alternator mod.  Do I bother with a mosfet, and if so I assume it’ll be a different version than what i’ve used on other bikes that don’t have the alternator…. 
Advice/thoughts?

Those Nippon Denso type alternators have a regulator/rectifier built in, so there is no need for any sort of external one.
