wiring headlights

[apeik]

i just put a HO stator on, and ran an extra set of lights with the extra 100w lead from the stator.  I mounted the regulator where the tors brain box used to go...grounded the regulator(2 wire trail tech) to the chassis under itself(brown i think), and ran the other wire off the regulator tee'd into the 100w lead Before the switch or lights.

Note this is not exactly how mine is hooked up, since im running 4 lights, but it show's how the voltage regulator tee's into the stator lead.  Hope this helps, any questions let me know.

oh, and definetly use a multimeter without light's hooked up to test the voltage output so you dont murder bulbs.  make sure to rev the bike, it shouldnt go over 13-14 volts.

appreciate it, I owe you a beer lol thanks!

you should do a dc conversion and put a rectifier and a battery so you can run pretty much any light and when your bike dies you can still have lights for a bit if its dark! im doing that and gonna run rigid indistries duallies!

Sorry, forgot all about this thread. If you haven't figured it out already...yes, the blue wire from the reg T's into the yellow wire going to the lights. Your ground is the screw that mounts the regulator to the frame, be sure to verify the screw hole is free of paint/powdercoat. When i put mine back together....I blew a headlight cuz the fresh powdercoat was just barely enough to make the regulator not ground.....ooops.
