I am debating the idea of attaching a pulley for an external alternator to the crankshaft on the flywheel/stator side of the motor.

My main concern is that the crankshaft bearings won't be able to take a sideload. Will this even be an issue? Or is the amount of sideload so minimal it won't even matter? The alternator I was thinking of using a Honda Civic or Suzuki Sidekick aternator (55-60 amps). My engine is an 08' CBR1000RR motor.

Thanks for the help.
