"Another modern option for my case is the availability of small lightweight Japanese alternators by Denso"
I have one on the BSA and it's proved to be very good. Driven directly off the crankshaft it puts the ignition light out on tick-over and keeps the battery in good fettle and has a built in rectifier/regulator. Including the transfer plate it's about half the size of the dynamo it replaced but it's too obviously modern to pass muster under a scrutiniser's beady eye.
