I have had a 6V electrical system going for quite a while now, which includes an SLA battery, on board charger, and a 750mA light. Trouble is, I've neer been quite too happy about the brightness. Sure, it's bright, but the area where it is bright is only in one small area, and I want something that lights up the whole area around, so that I can see miles ahead of me... The solution: A driving light. But of course, that requires electricity, and these bikes don't give too much to offer in that area. So, I decided to upgrade from my 6 volt system to a 12 volt system. I bought a 12 volt 1.3AH SLA battery, a switch that can handle at least 12V at 8.33A (I bought one that supports 250V at 10A), a 12 volt generator that sits inside the magneto case, an on board charger, an AC wall outlet charger, and I'm about to but a 100 watt driving light (halogen).
