I cant find a link for the ratcheting crimper I use, I got it in a case for vintage motorcycle connectors.

This set-up only regulates the AC voltage put out by the Stator, it does not rectify it to DC.

I use a battery powered bicycle light for the tail light (rear red light is all that's required in my state for a Moped which is how this is registered) - Which I prefer as if the engine stops, I lose power and the headlight. This way I still have a rear light so hopefully I don't get hit if I stall it on the road.

The low beam is plenty bright enough. The high beam that has both lights on seems to be too much for the Stator (90 Watt output, light is 70 Watts on high) as it reduces the brightness of the low light too. I may have to switch to a DC Regulator/Rectifier so I'm not wasting power when the AC regulator shunts anything in excess of 13.8V to ground.
