otherwise you need a magneto for the ignition. the generator will put out enough juice to power the coil but you would have to push start the bike to spin it up fast enough to produce any useable electricity. you can also get by with a ittybitty dirtbike battery.
yep...now you just have to save up $700 for the mag.No Good said:Is this what iam looking for???

I ran this scooter for a year or so with points and without a battery. It took a "magic box" kinda like the Mity Mites (I think) that the Triumph guys use. I don't remember the brand name, but I can probably find out. In fact, I still have the box around here somewhere. The body is black and it has finned aluminum heat sinks on both sides of it.No Good said:Ok this has probably been covered before but I cant find it when I do a search.
I need to know what is needed to run a battery less system on a 73 ironhead, yes iam running points.
any info appreciated!
Thanx

As I remember the main problem with the system was blowing headlight bulbs.

BTW, yeah I put shorter shocks on the scooter later on.
Do a web search for "motorcycle battery eliminator". Looks like Bat Pac and Accell have something, probably some more.No Good said:I would like to know more about this "magic box"!?! Has any one heard of it?
