Hi - first post to the site.
I'm building a motorcycle "special", putting a yamaha motor into a MZ frame. I will be prob making up a new wiring harness and wish to do away with a battery if possible. The bike has an erly type CDI ignition, run off a seperate coil with a pulsor. The second coil is for the lighting circuit and is rectified.
It is a 6 volt bike.
Could I use a large capacitor instead of a battery for running the lights / horn? I'm not too bothered if the lights flicker or are not of a great quality at night. The bike will be used infrequently and so I don't want a battery to keep going flat. I also have limited space on the bike.
Hope someone can help.
Regards
