I was looking for possible failure modes. We know that alternators fail. What would be the possible fairure modes of this PM generator - other than rectifiers, and series voltage regulator?
Alternators failures: rectifiers, bearings, brushes, ?
The envisioned PM generator would have which possible mechanical failure modes?

I'm a bit worried how well the mags will stay put glued onto the rotor
(heat and vibration).
    

The one I looked at was for a Harley...  have you ever ridden a V-twin?  :-p
