Good job! When I done the one on the DL I had a few versions on the shaft, bearing mount, and alternator mounting. Mine didn't really stick out enough to matter at all. And as you know they flat work well! I was running a lot of accessories and it handled them all. When I sold my DL 1000 I removed the components and sold them to a guy with a sidecar. Still going as far as I know. I was turning my alternator faster than yours, actually I think the 1:1 or a little faster would be better in the long run than what I was running. I was obsessed with idle charging output and should not have worried much about that....

I don't think there is any added strain. The bearing added to support the drive shaft fixes that "strain". These Denso style small alternators can be found at about any auto parts store. Try that when your stock stator or magnets fail on trip!
