In my mind one of the draws to using supercaps is the life expectancy; sadly, this goes down considerably when charged to full (and especially more). I honestly think you'd be better off burning that extra voltage off as heat, or having the alt rebuilt to only put out 14 volts flat, or having an adjustable regulator put in to allow you to tune it.
