Honda CT70K0 with 110cc engine

I still have a couple of finishing touches, but took my latest build for a spin. This is the final video in a 5 video series.

@WarnerSteel I've noticed you usually don't run a battery with your builds. Do you have problems with blowing the 12 volt bulbs or does the harnesses you use have a voltage regulator that helps prevent the bulbs from blowing?

The harness I use, Trail Buddy part# TB515, has a plug for a 4wire 12v regulator. So, no, it won’t blow any bulbs……as long as they are 12v. 🤣 If you watched the video, I forgot to swap out the 6v headlight bulb and blew it immediately when the engine started. Whoops.

I will occasionally throw a battery in a build that has turn signals. The battery helps with the additional load of the extra lights.

Thanks, I did watch the video. The bike turned out really nice. I was just wondering about the batteries, because I'd like lights on my CT70, but I don't feel like messing with a battery most of the time. Thanks for the reply.
