So, as per popgun, on the CB1100, magnets on the rotor move near the coils in the stator and that changing magnetic field creates an AC current in the stator coils.
Or, a field coil in the stator makes a magnetic field around it which then produces a current in a coil in the rotor, which makes it a magnet and this magnetic field rotating through the stator coils produces AC current in them.
Or a pair of slip rings on the end of the rotor is used to feed current into the coils on the rotor which magnetizes them and then works the same as above.
In the early CB750s, I know a field coil was used to produce current in the rotor coils which then produced a magnetic field in them.

But in other early CBs I know that current was fed into the rotor coils to create magnetic fields in them. The current into the rotor went through slip rings (not sure if that is the correct term). I know this from looking at videos of these older style rotors. Where was the current for this produced?

Is all that correct?
