Gen-set replacement?

[hippieforever3]

I've been having generator problems since I got my bird and am
considering ripping the K-P completely out. Just found out I'm looking
at quite a lot of $$$ for just the starter and radiator.

I'm considering replacing it with one or two smaller modern quiet
generators.

I figure I might even be able to squeeze a few golf cart batteries onto
the tray if I work it right.

Anyone done this type of conversion?
How do you like it?
How much total did it cost you?
