Modern Vespa

I am converting my Rally system to 12v. At first I was going to simply take the battery out of the loop. Now I am wondering if I should keep a 12v battery in the loop to smooth out the lights.

any opinions on this option?

It seems to me that they must have kept a battery in these things for a reason over the years... am I correct or are these set-ups just better without the battery.

any input appreciated.

you got it right.

Got what right?
Battery in?
Battery out?



I did a 12v conversion.
New harness from Beedspeed, new rear brake switch & new light switch.
No battery - not needed.

What sort of Rally engine you got?
Ducati?
Femsa?

There may be other mods required if its a Femsa engine and you want to fit a P range flywheel & stator.

Whatever I said, was right, I guess.

Anyway. I have the Femsa Rally 200 1974 stock.
I have never had any problems with ignition.
going to 12 v for the lure of brighter lights.
Maybe I should just buy a new 6V regulator and new battery-I have tried that in the past... never that impressed. Constantly trickle-charging is annoying.

Would tend to lose charge over time, but mainly the 12 v halogens are brighter, with options such as additional lighting, louder horns etc. seems like a good conversion for all those reasons.

I like stock vespa appearance, but when it comes to bike's function, upgrades don't diminish.

I suppose the value of a P-200E stator would be some increased amperage (watts) available? or what ?

cheers

aww shit! drunk posting. sorry.

I meant you were right they kept batteries for a reason. to level out the lights brightness. and yes you could go with or without if you want.

ill try to be more thoughtful next time. good luck with yer build.

fixed that!
