Jesus. Something with a CD175 alternator and a larrapping great 65w headlight bulb. Yes, I can see that would be fun :-)) Remember that Ogri cartoon in whcih Malcolm installed a belt-driven generator-powered searchlight to his old Triumph? -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools

Something with a CD175 alternator and a larrapping great 65w > headlight bulb. Yes, I can see that would be fun :-)) As an "almost" solution I fitted a 3-PH rectifier/regulator pack from a later model and connected each alternator coil to its own arm of the rectifier with the common connection to the third. Its the thyristor type regulator, not the field coil control type so it works with any PM type alternator, both coils are permanently on the rectifier and the regulator catches any time its run with side lights or no lights. If I run with main beam all the time and only start it with the starter, I have to take the battery out and charge it every now and then. Its still on the back yard with a rusted through swingarm and siezed in bolt - so the as new battery is now entering its second year on the Optimate.
