Hiya Freawaru,
hope you/we manage to sort this one out. I am no motto electrician and would like to do something like (akin to) your proposal.
As I understand there is a requirement for some kind of electrical buffer (relay?) should additional lighting be fixed as you propose.
Apparently there is no point in fitting bulbs beyond the standard, as this will just not help the situation.
The alternator would, it appears be the best solution, however what this would entail I am yet to discover. I think a guy called Dave Lambeth was going to look into the possibilities of doing this. (Here on the Hubb) and DL is a renowned xt man.
A quality battery would indeed help, infact there is a discussion currently ongoing here on the "Hubb" about adding a second battery. Although I think this is to a BMW.
I have some "podlights" that I am yet to fit to another bike (VFR) so this may be one avenue to research for you. These lights are not for lighting ahead of the bike, more, allowing other road users to see you.
Oh, did I say I am working on the same, 3AJ (u)
Hopefully, some one will be along soon and convince us that this or that way is the way to go.
PS Hope your chosen sign in name (freawaru) is not because of a sell off!, but more of a “peacemaker”
Socks (don't ask)
PPS,
In the school yard its either "respect or/and protect" is this area not out of bounds to some?
