?- you might want to try converting all of your lighting to LED. That might be a cheaper way to gain juice. Buying a custom stator or a ninja 300 stator might e a good step too, but I imagine it won't be cheap.

If you are of an engineering mindset you could also convert wasted heat energy into electricity using a the Seebeck Effect.

Thermoelectric modules have gotten very affordable in recent years and a motorcycle wastes considerable heat energy via the radiator and exhaust.

You could quite easily machine a block of aluminum to clamp onto your header pipe then sandwich the thermo electric modules between regular CPU heat syncs

This setup would have ample air cooling and utilize wasted energy.

It is a technology already used commercially in buses and other industrial applications.
