    Yeah that is do-able. But whether, a 60/55 will be supported without any stator mods is doubtful. Atleast you can run a 35/35 headlight which will not dim at idle.

      Nopes, even after regulator change it was running on AC only. I am using a 2-way switch to switch b/w regulated supply and unregulated supply

        Can some one tell me if I need to change the complete wiring for my bike if I change the coil...... I have the new Thunder Bird Twin spark.....

          Ok I got it now. But the unregulated supply can burn out the bulbs! The unregulated voltage can reach upto 90V with no loads. So, a proper load is needed to maintain it at about 12V. Anyways, that is something radical that you have done. One question - how long does your headlight bulb last?

            Not necessary! Why do you need to change the stator coil of a new bike? Generally it is the regulator unit which conks off.

              Interesting topic ,
              Right now I am running a avenger stator and avenger rectifier on my 180 dtsi . I am easily running a 60/55 philips rally .

              What I want to do is some how tap the stator output and pass it through a regulator and feed the battery . The intention of this is to run 35 watt HID , may be 2 off them if possible . I am not done this till now ,since reliability is my utmost priority .
              How can this be done ?
              SPEED .....i need more
              I cannot do burnouts :(..my bike has traction control...

                    Although most stuff spoken here is way above my understanding of electronics.
                    I am planning on converting my headlight to dc on my discover 125.
                    here is my plan.
                    The battery is due for replacement,so planning on buying a bigger battery probably 7 ah .And to increase charging rate by re routing the power going to the headlight to the battery to boost the rate of charge .
                    Same here ....But the only differences are i am doing it on unicorn and my battery is perfectly fine..
                    could i use pulsar150 ug4 AC to DC charger if they are avialable ..if not then which one i should opt for so that charging rate increases to support 55/60 watt bulb?...
                    AND in case battery is charging frequently but i am not using it then what will happen...will it get damage or there is cutt off or something like that to prevent battery form shortening of its life span?

                      No idea about UGIV electronics. And if the voltage is maintained below 14.5V (by using proper AC-DC rectifier), nothing will happen if the battery is fully charged and you do not use it.

                      As I have said in my first post, you do need a certain background in electronics to understand what is going on here. If you do know about electronics (not necessarily an expert), please read my first post. If you have any questions, I can attempt to answer them.

                        @ abhijeet

                        Pulsar150 UG4 suppose to have full dc electricals thats why i were asking ....anyways i"ll try to find out a good company ac to dc charger from market ...preferabliy of pulsar,karizma or bullet..

                            he he .. Yeah, popped a few 35w ones in the begin, but once i started using 65w .. no problemo et al

                              guys help me in this matter...

                              Suppose if a battery is charging @ 100 watts then how much of actual usage can be taken from battery so it dont get drain.....like if a battery is being charged by alternator @100 watt constantly and i am taking 75 watt from battery continiously whether the battery will charge or dsicharge...?

                                The amount of current a battery itself consumes will depend on its state of charge. A discharged battery will consume more current compared to a charged battery. A ballpark figure would be 1-2A. In terms of watt, it is like 2Ax12V = 24W for a significantly discharged battery. A fully charged battery will hardly consume 10W. So, for a 100W charged battery, we can take up to 80W continuously or else even up to 120-140W in bursts (like signals, horns etc).

                                To verify that the battery is charged, its voltage should be above 12V at all times with all loads on.
