she'll be ok. I updated my little checklist to reflect some things I found with the rotor difference which leads to a person sh!tcanning the TBSS alt if you want to go 8 rib clutch pulley upgraded, which works for my use case- if you wanted to keep your OEM 6 rib clutch, you would just need the special tool and swap over the tbss pulley onto the KW1 alt then be good to go with the 250 amp 6 rib clutch setup tentatively
Ok so ya, the KW1 rotor is about the same, maybe SLIGHTLY bigger but it may be on a slightly longer shaft and in a diff spot, around .3 ", possibly. about 3/10" longer on the KW1- makes sense, longer bolts by 3/10 than the TBSS etc etc

The rotors are the same width, around 4.2" and same depth, around 2.2-2.3
BUT the KW1 weight almost a pound more. I think there is more copper on the rotor, obviously your eyes can play tricks on you but to me it looks like the KW1 has morecopper on it. you can't see the plastic carrier on it and the depth of the winding is the same for both. However. The distance from the top of the rotor claw to the copper winding is 50 thou LESS when measuring 3 spots along the claw on the KW1 than the TBSS alt, which says there is more wire, which matches with not being able to see the plastic on the KW1 (yellow boxes) versus being able to see it on the TBSS

as far as pulleys and shaft length on the front half, that doesn't seem to be an issue, they're the same. your eyes will play tricks on you, but they are the same length protruding from the case, around 1"

Ok, so that makes the TBSS shaft ~1.1"
KW1 pulley is almost flush to the end of the shaft, you can see some out of focus brown shmegma in the center, that's the shaft

So ya, looks like both shafts are about an inch protruding on the front end but the KW1 on the back end is definitely bigger. waiting on parts for now, shouldn't be long ya right lol
