thanks for the feedback and thats what i was thinking..
as like you brought up ,
that CR  500AFX system has done well with the CR500 steelie frame riders as well .

As I don't know anything about it could you tell me if it provides an AC current or a three phase (usually three yellow output wires) output like most roadbikes have?

AC is nice but if like me you want lights that don't go dim when the revs drop you need to change it to half wave rectified current before it goes to a battery but three phase (whilst still needing to go through a rectifier) is better suited to battery use as it provides less trough in the waveform and higher RMS voltage if I remember it right.

Also if you say that the ignition is digital does that mean that its also programmable?

is it to be a lighter or heavier flywheel or just the same?

Sorry if some of these questions sound a bit daft but I don't know anything about the product you alreadyhave for the CR.

regards Scott.

hangtime:
I really want to ride my bike to work once a week. This lighting system and an Oregon plate might be the answer.

AJ:
The current CR setup
is two yellows out ,on the lighting coil output side, AC.
its a *true 130 watts* (not split) system.

it is availible with either a DC regulator,(if you want it with a battery application)  or AC regulator.
it works well in both applications

It runs with a DC reg and battery , on our CR500AFX..
(since the bike already has the batt,and batt box)

however I have run it AC,  on a standard CR500AF, CR500R,
and it never dims with your somewhat  typical 55wat headlight bulb even at idle, it is full bright..

of course with a higher wattage bulb that might change ...
havnt tested that yet.
but as mentioned you could always run the DC regulator ,
and a small batt if wanted , or needed?


on the CDI mapping ,
 it is not progamable.. but i was thinking of having
it be swicthable, and offer  two curves

the flywheel is 4 oz heavier

The KX system isnt designed yet, but would mimic the CR setup.

openclass:
AJ would you be able to just sell the frame (modifided to except the 500 motor), plastic,shock, triple clamps, and forks?
