I have had excellent luck with the alternator sold by fattywagons, near the bottom of this page:
http://fattywagon.com/fwproducts.htm
but then swap out the voltage regulator with one of these:

Since the fattywagon pulleys are smaller than stock, you have to go down one length size on your belt(s).
This rig works great.
I have also bought a high capacity alternator from a random seller on ebay (with excellent feedback rating), that uses a standard pulley size, and it works good with one of Dave's adjustable voltage regulators. About half the price of the fattywagon rig.
It is really hard to figure out what size you need, the two sizes are so close in appearance, even measuring them is difficult. So ask the seller what size the regulators are before you buy. And don't buy unless they are sure.
