front light mounting sucks ass.. they have these stupid metal things that hose clamp to the forks... why not use rubber strap clamps like every one else??!!
the bullet connections from them suck butt... had to redo them all in spade... as they all either pulled appart... or caused problems.
the Light (and ignition) switch broke off VERY easy... its currently epoxy'ed on... we shall see how long it lasts..
Battery pack needs a special charger to charge the batt .... a motorcycle/car charger will kill it (need a RC car charger).. as its just 10 AA cells...
now for power..
I have the moose "75watt" stator.. it also SUCKS ASS. wont even charge my current setup. (35watt headlight. and LED tail light).. so it must be rated at 75watt at like 100,000,000 RPM..
Reason I have a MZB ignition TRUE 100watts of lighting sitting on the bench from our savior alward25
what state do you live in? have you looked into the laws that you need to jump through to get a plate? I got one here in california.. so perhapse I can be of some assistance;

Ok a drunk reply. :lol:
I live in NV. i have found i need two mirrors, a horn, working tail/brake and headlights. Plus a turn signal function. I was wondering if this http://bat-pac.com/index.htm would negate needing a high output stator like baja designs recomended. They said I need a ricky stator to make the full kit work.
I just want to ride this bike in town and enjoy stop light beatings of anything on the road. Does street riding take a toll on tranny gears? I dont plan on long trips, like I mention I just wanna ride in town and have fun.

If your hard on them yes... other wise no.. if yoru worried get a dampened rear hub...
I heard nevada shut it down pretty hard.. but If I got a plate here in cali... anything is possible.. but I have 2 years worth of work etc in getting mine...
Ricky stator is 20 min from my house... they cant do much with the stock K5 ignition... trust me I looked into it... only way out religable is MZB...
I am currently running mine on batt only.. sure its fine.. I get about an hour out of a charge... but anything over that... and I have no brake lights, etc... and am now in "get pulled over, and plate revoked" territory... if you go into the work it takes to get a plate... do yourself a favor and get a RELIGABLE charging system..
