Charlie,
I think the Bosch generator systems are pretty capable. On
Junkyard with headlight (sealed beam) on high, tail light (sae 1157, 4
running lights (1157 low side), 4-way flashers (the other 1157
filaments), 2 saddlebag running lights, and a pair of 35 watt spots on,
plus the ignition, it will show 14 volts at the battery terminals at
around 3000 rpm. No problems charging here!

Hi Joe, Lights are important too. I want to add driving lights, but don't want the bike to look like another Harley wannabe. I'll figure out what kind and where I want them as the project progresses. The rear will have the stock taillight, running lights on the back of the Wixoms, and rectangular LED auxilliary brake light. Might add two more tail/brake lights on either side of the stock taillight like Pat Galbraith has on her Ambo. Thinking of mounting a neon strip on the side of each bag too. I'll probably need the Suzuki Samurai alternator conversion I've been working on to power it all! joe jump wrote:
