luv2ride Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 PIcked up a drag 421 cheetah banshee over the weekend. There are 3 wires on the entire machine to run the ignition. Nothing for headlights/taillight. Its still able to be trail ridden for the most part except I need to get some lights on it. Been searching for some battery mods like this, havent found any. I want the lights to work strictly off the battery. I can charge it when I'm done riding and turn the lights off when not needed. Wiring isnt an issue. I'll handle that. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks Quote
pumarat Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 I'm planning on running my varmint hunting light, might be overkill but no batteries or wires. Lasts a couple hours on low beam and only takes one rechargeable battery. Gonna have to fabricate a mount for the handlebars but this light is legit. Quote
SpecialEd 05 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 If you run some LED lights like Matt's from SCSS you could run one of these 5000mAh Lithium Polymer batteries. At 14.8 volts and 5Ah they should run a pair of LED lights for about 3.5-4 hours. Benefits are they are smaller and way lighter than an SLA battery plus nominal voltage will remain consistant throughout the entire discharge. All you need to get is a LiPo specific hobby charger to suit. This Is what I plan to do for some extra lighting that I can remove when I don't need it. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18631__Turnigy_5000mAh_4S1P_14_8v_20C_hardcase_pack_USA_Warehouse_.html Quote

Thanks for the battery link, very helpful. Now my last question, anyone do anything for brake lights?? Quote

Now my last question, anyone do anything for brake lights?? Oh sorry. PM MattSCSS he will be able to hook you up with some LED lights. For a Brake light I got one of these LED combos. I've mounted it up to a modified stock bracket but you could easily fab one up. It seems to be bright enough to do the job. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Crystal-LED-Tail-Brake-Light-For-Yamaha-Banshee-ATV-Warrior-YFZ-WR-XT-Dual-Sport-/400460657733?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d3d50b445 Quote
