Thank you both for the lightning responses! I've just checked the handbook for the output and it's 280Watts, so obviously an increase to 400Watts is definitely worthwhile.
Mind, $575 is seious money to spend on an old banger that still needs a complete exhaust system, brake lines, two cast iron front discs, timing chain plus what else-I-dread-to-think.
Any technical bods out there that can tell me how to rewire / rewind my present alternator to increase its output? I did a degree in electrical engineering when I were a lad, I'd just love to give it a try.
Thanks
John
PS
I was browsing through some coffe-table books the other day in the book shop and in the section about the R100RS one said it was possibly still one of the world's best sports tourers. Must have been talking bollocks.... wasn't he....?
