The engine wont' need forced cooling to run properly on an open frame motorcycle, so you can cut/mill the blades off the flywheel and remove the tins entirely. One of the 'be careful' aspects of this engine is the relatively light duty charging system, mostly since they were designed to be used in stationary jobs like pumps and generators where lighting wasnt' the primary function. A 65w headlight and 13w tail light and 7-10wx4 marker/turn lights would be about the extent it can handle comfortably IIRC.
