How you put lights on your 50?
Hey i was wondering if there was a way to put a 12 v light system like that arebis on the front of my 50 so i can ride at night. If someone could send me in the right direction of how to wire up my strator or get a good one already done for cheap that would be awesome. I really want to have them incase i have to ride at night. Any DIY or anything would be a great help.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Make sure it's an LED maglite. I have had mine for two years on the same batteries... on the other hand, I don't think you would want a 3 d-cell maglight taped to your handlebars
but if something breaks bust out the good ol honda repair kit.

Re: How you put lights on your 50?
here is what i did on my ysr, ran to wal-mart, picked up a small 12v battery and a on/off switch, ran to autozone, picked up some cheap bumper lights, bolt one lamp to the front, and simply wire it all to the battery.
I'm running a total loss system ( must recharge the battery once it dies ) but it works great, and is easy to do.

oh sorry, i was just saying the easiest way, othewise you would have to buy a new startor and all that junk, the battery i have is super small (about 2x4x4") and light. and cost me about $50 to do, and will last a few hours before it dies down.
you could always rig it to the cdi, but then it would get brighter/duller depending on your rpm's,

Re: How you put lights on your 50?
Buddy of mine did this a while back...used an Acerbis SF setup and wired it to his stator. His bike was stock so it ran like **** when the lights were on (no power). Maybe if you have a larger or built motor the extra draw from the lights wont affect driveability?
