12v battery conversion

I have a non-battery SIL gp 200 engine in a series 1 and I want to charge a battery and run a tacho (backlit) and such off of it. Can I simply install a battery type regulator and battery and work away?or do I need to unsolder wires and stick in a Wassel unit as per the recent thread on the subject?.

Re: Ron Moss - Avanti TT3 - Cylinder Kit - Review & Test....

I have read the review in scootering on the avanti kit... And now I am unsure about fitting my kit, as in my opinion the review states there are quite a few disadvantages ...so I going to wait on some more long term feedback on this cylinder kit... What issue of Scootering have you read ? I have th...
