I have always left cutting off extra material till the last moment during builds so that if it is something that might be useful I will have it already handy.
I have the little extra space that I may use the extended amount of jackshaft past a pillow bearing and bracket to drive an alternator. I know that the weight would make the bike lopsided with just the alternator alone so in operation of alternator would be parked. Maybe first try like this, but adding small side car for this idea alone maybe be something to try.
The alternator would not be of use without at least a small storage battery to get the field current for the alternator windings. I thought I could have the bike parked and have a wagon trailing behind with the battery and alternator to hook up and jump start what needs in times of need.
By the right side next to the rear wheel have some way of attaching fairly quick is what I’m thinking.
Also maybe run something not quite like the carbon arc lamps that light the sky for events, but whatever 60 amps 12 volts can do. Using an inverter for 120 volts, I have a bunch of old movie projectors that have 500 watt lamps and the lens will make a nice beam.
Forget drive in movies; bring the drive in to the location on request!

Dual jackshafts near finishing with belts to line up on them.
