Well yes, but if someone has already done it, I'd like to know much more watts they got and if the whole thing made any sense before having it tuned up for my bike. There's only so much space between the generator and the flywheel so you can't just tune it up to whatever you want.

To be on the safe side one could change the wiring, that's true. Just don't feel like doing it unless it's necessary, sounds like a pain in the ass.

According to the specs section of the service manual, the generator output is 20.8A@5000 rpm and the rectifier capacity (whatever that means) is 35A. To me this sounds like enough. Or is it? Any ideas, anyone?

Riding in winter here is just a matter of proper riding gear. And being an idiot.
