Here's a schematic he put together for someone: kzrider.com/forum/4-electrical/172746-19...bones-for-mattylight
It's in his signature.

Yeah..that's what I meant to post! I didn't notice that the link disappeared. LOL

No worries mate, happy to read your mind and lend a hand.

can I go no battery its a 78 650c

Yes, as long as it is truly a 78 650. It has a permanent-magnet for a flywheel/alternator.

You just replace the battery with a 5000 to 12,000 microfarad capacitor (AKA battery eliminator). The bike needs to be able to start in one kick reliably. Also you have to be able to turn off all of the lights while starting.

No idea mate. I was reading in an post by the aforementioned wiring guru of the site, about a set up where they used a laptop battery to give it enough juice to run everything. I'd try doing a search for loudhvx and reading some of the posts he's written concerning what you're looking for. It's probably all there mate, you just have to look for it. Happy hunting.

EDIT-- His answer trumps mine because he actually knows what he's talking about.

Cool thanks for the help. I will try it and if it don't work then I just run a battery, thank you both for the help

I posted a diagram on the Mattylight thread. If it doesn't work, you can use the same diagram, but just replace the capacitor with a battery. I also have a diagram with a relay to power the lights. It automatically turns the lights off when the bike stops. To turn the lights on you press a button. I made this because I kept leaving the lights on, which made it impossible to start my batteryless bike. Now it automatically turns off and I don't have to worry about it. I just turn it on after I start the bike.

BTW, thanks for the compliments, Chaotic Reason.

alright I got out my paperwork on the bike and found out it's not a 78 but a 79 kz650c does that make a differnts?

Functionally, it is the same, I believe, but a wire or two may have a different color.
