[QUOTE="69ST, post: 175425, member: 5"] I don't think that battery dimensions will be a problem. 12V SLA batteries are available in a few different sizes; there's also such a thing as running dual batteries, parallel (+ to +, - to -) wired, That's a nice option to have, if needed. And, if the alternator has a floating ground, you may be in business. Full-wave reg/rec units require a floating ground stator, to work. IMO, your proposed 12v conversion may be one helluva lot easier than doing so with any of the 72cc bikes, except the CL70. FYI, I'm running a Honda Nice 110 motor, with the stator modded to a floating ground. Also using the OEM Honda Nice wire harness. The Nice (the bike) is, essentially, an updated CT110 with 12V/CDI electrics and aero-style fairings. The wiring is similar to the CT110/90 but is (was) a half-wave setup. I've been running a Trail tech reg/rec unit, which has a voltage adjustment, via trimpot. The Nice harness has a 4-wire keyswitch pigtail...which I'm using with a 7-wire CT70 (ST70, actually) keyswitch.
