i know people can use the white wire to power lights and stuff. i use a rechargable battery for my lights. anybody think of powering other stuff like a small radio.

Not a radio. The output of the White Wire would fluctuate too much and be too "dirty", even after rectifying, to power a radio.
From what I've read about the CDI box "getting into" electric speedometers, I think there's more trouble than it's worth.

It actually crossed my mind once. With a regulator IC and a cap you could clean up the power more than well enough to power the radio. It just becomes a question of noise immunity after that...I've never tried it so idk if it would affect the radio.
