hey guys, I have battery upgrade question. I own a 78 xs400 2e and a friend of mine gifted me a headlight, it looks like a day maker one (see pic). my question is that will the headlight work on the stock wiring? the headlight's power spec is 60w, working voltage is 10-30v (fits 12v, 24v).
The bike came with a battery which is one of those old ones with acid in it and I am thinking to upgrade it to lithium battery since the old battery has seen better days. I read few forums, that upgrading the battery requires complete upgrade of wiring. will someone help me find a lithium battery that would work with stock wiring, will work with the headlight, led turn signals and not upgrading the rectifier etc.
I would really appreciate if someone pm me or reply to this thread with the battery names, or if possible links.
thanks
