I suppose if you could convert a stator to a 12v set up you could then use the 12v regulator and CDI unit from a standard electronic kit. Or isn't it as simple as that?

Well you'd need to change the flywheel, ignition feed coil, and add a pick up unit as well. But once you've got decent lights, why would you want to make it unreliable again? :lol:

You couldn't just convert your stator to 12v points and run it in the original flywheel then?

Yes, if you keep the points, but you can't use a CDI with the points type flywheel.
