I'd already installed Treats CDI Adventure Pack Version 2 in video 13, but I just rigged it quickly to be able to run the Motor - No lights or anything. If this video misses anything, its probably in that or number 14 (installing the Stator/Magneto and Timing etc). This video is long enough, so I hopefully skipped or edited down anything I've already shown in previous ones.

I make an aluminum plate to organize the electrical bits under the side covers of the Magnum. I changed things around so the plate will be different in the video as I make adjustments (and I ended up moving from the included regulator to the full bridge rectifier of the TrailTech so the diagram has a few iterations too).

Then floating the ground on the 12V Coil and running that through a TrailTech 7004-RR150 Regulator/Rectifier with a Bat-Pac Battery Eliminator - the Regulator needs something like the Bat-Pac, Small Battery Pack or a large Capacitor to work properly - it puts out 7v at idle going to 0v at higher rpm without it. With the Bat-Pac it is around 12v at idle, goes to 14v with a little throttle and stays there through higher RPM's.

I'm using 20W Halogens and bulb adapters for the Headlight and a "vertical fixation RED LED tail light".

Wire's are organized with TechFlex, zip ties etc. I do use dialectic grease on the connections (I show it only being applied to the headlight).

My remaining to-do list is just add Decals and a Black LTD front fender and when I can get a welded clutch bell, install the Hammer Clutch.
