[QUOTE="cujet, post: 468688, member: 19501"] Those bikes used a zener diode type regulator. What they do is to use up the excess voltage (generally anything above 13.5V) by conducting it to ground. The fact that is is optional means that if you do not run lights, you do not need the regulator. Baja Designs and others sell this type of regulator. You can also make one quite easily using Radio Shack parts if you figure out which zener diode(s) you need. Place the diodes (regulator)(along with a heat sink) from the headlight hot wire to the chassis ground. Do not use any type of standard diode, as this will short 50% of the power to ground!
