[QUOTE="Steve St.Laurent, post: 1126729, member: 66902"] Then I needed to do something for the switches and electrics. For the battery I got a 10 cell AA NiMH battery pack and a charger from [url]http://www.batteryspace.com[/url] . For the switches I got a KTM headlight switch to power up everything and a boating 3 position switch that has a rubber cover to seal out dirt, water, etc. (you have to have high and low beams). An extendable dental mirror would handle that task. A regular 12v motorcycle horn and an engine kill switch would handle the horn. I built an aluminum box that would fit behind the headlight to hold all of the electric and I made it so I can change the battery easily by pulling off the front plate (there's no charging system on the bike) and glued a cut up tire tube on the flange for the front plate to seal the case - the only way water is getting into the case is if it enters from the bottom through the grommet that the wires go into the case though. I used weatherpack connectors for all connections and put disconnects near the box and at the rear sub section so that I can remove them easily. I also threw a fuse holder into the aluminum box for protection. The mirror simply clamps to the back of the aluminum box and sits behind the headlight (I won't ever use it - it's just there for legalities). Here's some pictures of the box up front: [img]http://home.centurytel.net/stevest/cr250rx/DSCF0774.JPG[/img] [img]http://home.centurytel.net/stevest/cr250rx/DSCF0775.JPG[/img] [img]http://home.centurytel.net/stevest/cr250rx/DSCF0776.JPG[/img] [img]http://home.centurytel.net/stevest/cr250rx/DSCF0777.JPG[/img] The battery pack can run the headlight on high for 40 minutes. I'm guessing I could get 2 1/2-3 hours out of it with the headlight on low. All day if it was just powering the taillight and horn (the headlight switch allows me to have everything powered up and have the headlight off/low/high). All told I have about $200 wrapped up into the project. I'll only be using it for cross connectors between trails (you have to be licensed to use these), for short road runs between camp and the trails, and to be legal to enter enduros (starting next season). The only thing I don't have on the bike that is required in MI is DOT approved tires but foretunately the sheriff didn't check for the DOT numbers. Everything else is to the letter of the law.
