I've got 2 of Normans lights that work off the white wire and they work great. Just hook em up and they work...................

I use the white wire on my Dax 70 to power a tail light. I have a red accessory light (I forget the specs), which I think is meant for a trailer, that I bought at Autozone. I ran the wire for it through a switch on the side of my rack.

I have let the engine warm up and smooth out at night and then turned it on. Works fine. No special kit.

I am using the white wire to power my headlight with good results! My headlight is from a 70s bicycle generator system.

Default 6 Volt LED headlamp w/ small 6 volt motorcycle battery

I am working on a 6 volt LED headlamp and the guy at the autoparts place told me to use a small 6 volt motorcycle battery and run the white wire to it, then run a wire from the battery to the headlamp so the motor would not be using the spark juice to power the light. Any thoughts on this?
