Yes, but I was assuming changing to a generator system rather than alternator, provided there is one made with magnets that can withstand the heat. Stanley

Also, the starter is on the same shaft than the alternator. You will need to change the starter to give it more torque. Or start your bike pushing it. Not so simple...
