Can you not get uprated kit?

One popular mod on the Blackbird is a bigger gen that sends more power back for those that have plugs and sockets and sat navs and all kinds of electricery plugged in for touring.

Yes, I gotcha.

Do you think the standard battery & alternator on the SV would be able to cope with two extra 55W halogens? (i.e. three headlights).

Also, I found this: http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety/drs/hidheadlamps

So it looks like a HID upgrade is illegal, but my plan of adding a pair of auxilliary HID headlamps will be legal. If my battery and alternator will handle it, then I will go for it ...

Mine seems to cope fine, but they are generally only on for about 6-7 minutes at a time.
