Aha!  Three and counting.  Is anyone else interested in motorcycles on this list?

I've been thinking about this for about 2 years now.  The problem is that the
280 Watt alternator can't supply enough power at low revs to feed the
fuel pump and injectors and the rest of the bike so the battery drains.
A company called Luftmiester offers a F.I. kit for the old twins for about $2000.
It works well as long as you keep the revs up.

The only solution to this is to fit an external alternator from a small car
driven off of the crank.
