Improving the original CBX alternator

[Kool_Biker]

Has anyone managed to successfully modify the original CBX alternator (european or American spec), rotor and / or stator, to achieve charging from idle?
I'm aware of the modern alternator conversion, but prefer the original look and of course there is the issue of cost ...

How would you modify the alternator? You would have to increase the drive ratio, or is there another way?

I was hoping one day a modern motorcycle would have an alternator on it that would be small enough to fit inside the CBX's OEM alt cases, other than that I'm with EMS, how?

My rotor recently gave up the ghost and had it repaired at a local shop.
They did a seemingly good job, turning it around in ~24 hours, and it's now all back to normal .

Asking why they welded the two parts together, they said the rotor was very hard to undo (?), assuring me that should the need arise, it could be rewound as many times as I would wish, without any problems ...

Playing with the rotor, I was wondering if one could rewind it in a way to increase the magnetic field at all RPM, and hence idle.
