Sorted just resized original.....

No rush on the panniers....but they would be good as a trip is in the planning .... That's why one of my other threads was to identify a luggage rack?

Sadly I don't have a loom so it really is design and build???

Also I was going to put something along the lines of a "racing batteries" high performance lightweight lithium battery on it...

Will that make a difference ...I know they are small and powerful but I did wonder if it was more critical to get charging correct?

Guys thanks for all the input....

When I started this thead and put.  "Just a quick one"

How wrong was I.

Anyway just so you all know I am I fact an electrician by trade an am still contracting but I kinda lean to domestic/commercial and seem to always get involved in 3phase machinery repairs .?

But I am the first to admit vehicle wiring is an art form ......a sort of alchemy at times?

But give me a wiring diagram or simple instructions its just another day I the office.

I keep reading the posts and I must say I really don't know which way to go right now.   

Like  I said before all I have at the moment is the 3 yellows from the generator...I will only be running front / rear lights plus brake light ...and because some one has removed the kickstart I will have to rely on the starter motor
And as it was pointed out to me I really don't want to be boiling battery's .....

So I guess what I'm asking for now is in your opinions which would be the simplest solution and possibly the neatest?

And thanks again to you all

No Bryan
I am listening I honestlythought that was it....

Thanks for putting me right. 

I'll be looking into a zener diode this week then. The only reason I have not yet is because I was certain I had a regulator somewhere but I was not aware it was the wrong one....

Or indeed no good what so ever
And once again I appreciate all the help

CB500/550 / Another reg Kirby honda?
« on: March 02, 2014, 12:13:13 PM »
Whilst looking for some spares in my garage I dug out the old reg for what must be the bike Broken for all my spares (500/4)

The reg is not found on the dvla so I figure it was taken out if circulation years ago

Reg is MTW #22P

And is on a plate with
"ANOTHER REG KIRBY HONDA"

Printed across the bottom...

Does this mean anything to anyone?
Or of any use???

Hi simon
Thanks again
I reckon I can sort this now.....
I only need it to charge the battery so it will keep the starter happy.....
I will be fitting lights maybe sometime....I can't load a picture at the moment of the project but I will try again soon....
It has no wiring as we speak so its all abit of a work in progress .....arnt they all???

Cheers Simon
When you say "sorry I wasn't any more help". Are you kidding?   Other than coming and wiring it up for me that's great......and that's not a hint....
I guess I should have said up top that I have no loom and all wiring is to be made from scratch.   
But thanks again that's fantastic


Best tool in the box this week "sohc forum"

Ok
So rectifying wise it should do the job.....but I'm guessing it being switched via the lights it steps up some to.cope with the extra load...

The 450 it's going on only has front / rear plus brake light.
Other than that it's pretty much for charging the battery so can I illiminate the switched coil?
