Getting the HF79 ready for the summer since my garage doesn't have any heat which means I am at a standstill on restoring the CT200.
I had these old turn signals/tail running light with 2.5 volt bulbs (barely able for a car to see the lights) and a Sturmey Archer front brake/dynamo hub putting out many volts AC, blowing all the bulbs. So, I built a charger box out of a smaller Radio Shack bridge rectifier than we use on our motorcycle restoration projects, a few capacitors to trim the DC voltage and some new 6 volt bulbs ...
Here are the rear running light and turn signals, along with the charger box and batteries to run these lights plus a headlight.
... and with some old parts I didn't need from the bikes I restored, I used an old Honda S90 turn signal switch.
Now all I have to do is come up with an idea for the switch lever. The black plastic switch lever broke off.
Got any ideas what you would use to keep from wearing your fingers out?

been some time since I put gas in anything. I wanted the lights horn and extras to all run off a battery and be their own independant system from the rest of the bike so as to not detract from my distance and or power.
