Hey SamM, that rocks! I've had a very similar (albeit more low-buck) idea to yours. I first got the idea when I saw some spy photos of a diesel that was being tested for the US military. It turns out that when the military goes overseas, they need to bring gasoline just for the bikes; everything else runs on diesel. They'd like to use one fuel only.
My thought was to build a small street bobberwith an obnoxious open exhaust, although I thought about powering dirt bikes and quads as well. one thing I couldn't reconcile was how to create a charging circuit as well as a lighting circuit. I envisioned using a dual sport stator under a modified flywheel, but I never took the idea anywhere. It seems to me that you need a charging circuit and a lighting coil.
Great project! Please keep us updated.
