Otherwise, it was as simple as finding a 12 volt battery fit, wiring in a h4 headlight socket and modifying the stock head lamp to fit the bulb and replacing the rest of the bulbs.

Alright thats it im going for it! what battery did you end up using? I got this bike as a box of parts and a frame, alot of stuff is missing. so i figured i'd resto-mod it. Do i need to stay with the same wattage or less for the taillight? i think its a dual filament 6w 22w, which i cant seem to find in 12v however there are plenty of 8w26w
