Default generators for head and tail lights

I've run into a problem here and I need some advice.. I've been building out bikes with head and tail lights hooked up to your standard type bike generator that runs against the wheel.. So far I've had a huge problem as the generators either come faulty (yay China!) or blow out the bulbs THEN crap out on me.. I'm guessing I've got too many RPMS for the lil generator to handle..Anyone else have this problem or is it the luck of the draw, and does anyone have any idea besides using the white wire or using battery operated lights?

The gen. lights are not good on M.B.s since the speed of the bike can spike them up to 18 volts. Wonderfullcreations makes a mini gen that fits in the eng. behind the mag it puts out 6 volt ac and can be very usable I have one on my bike with a 6 volt sla. bat and 6 volt reg/rec to convert from a/c to d/c voltage and run L.E.D.s it was a pricey project but I have good lights and have enough power to run a 6 volt horn in the future. The nice thing also is being able to have lights without the eng running. I hav'nt any good pics of this but soon.
