could i do this with a battery ?

[rbgaz]

my lights are very poor at tickover and low revs the led rear has bad flicker as well at low revs
so i hav bgm stator with bgm ac/dc reg the dc is wired to big bike battery could it handle powering the lights ?

[firekdp]

Simple answer is no, the bgm reg's DC output is only half wave so wouldn't keep up with the demands on the battery.

But with a battery it would be quite feasable to run your LED rear lights, although you would have to play around with the wiring.

thats good idea so would it just b case cutting the live feed to rear light then taking a live from the battery with inline switch ?

[firekdp]

If you have an Indian ignition switch, simply feed the purple (or blue) with a DC supply. But best to change your festoon to an LED type as well.

think-ive got a mb loom in it / so the purple wire just feeds the rear light ? im really not good with eletrics !

[firekdp]

On an Indian switch, the purple feeds the festoon, speedo and tail light in position 2 & 3, this was to keep the 12v headlight separate from the other 6v circuits. If you have an electronic loom you would need to run a DC supply to the headset.
This will not work with an Italian type switch!

[rbgaz]

yes def got electronic loom/ so is the rear light not got seperate wire from headlamp ?

[rbgaz]

well it seemed easy just unpluged a black wire what was powering back light and wired dc feed direct from battery to this wire now have brill rear light but no better headlamp still dim on tickover but as before very good when reving it thought not using power for rear would have improved it

this may sound stupid but check your earth connections and your regulator earth connections for corrossion and their general condition as this can make quiet a difference
