    colin does only a few miles a meeting.. so as long as the battery can run it, & start it a couple of times, the hp saving from not having an alt. is well worth it.

    I'm fully aware of that and also how hard those miles will be on the battery.

    you could under drive the alternator a bit with a larger pulley to offset the drag on the engine, or get a super expensive mag drive one that can be freewheeling at the flick of a switch, its all weight though i guess
