[B]Accessories and Lights for my Doodlebug[/B]

Hi there fellow bikers. A while ago I bought a charging system for my Honda clone engine to run lights. The problem was the coils only had one wire, so I bought a Briggs regulator, with two wires, red and yellow. With it, I only got about 7 volts at idle, and I had AC voltage going through the chassis ground, so I modded the coils to have two wires. What regulator should I use to charge the battery and run the lights and horn? I'm looking for something with two AC input wires, and either 1 or 2 wires for DC output.

For this project, I bought a NOS Fox handlebar switch with a Hi and Lo beam switch, and a horn button. I also got an LED motorcycle headlight, a horn, an LED 1157 bulb for my taillight (modified from a Honda CL90). I want to put mirrors on too but am not sure what kind to buy.

Here are some better pictures.

Got my horn today! Hooked it up and tested it too.

So does anyone have a recommendation for a voltage regulator/rectifier? I'm looking for something for single phase AC, with two AC input wires, and a 12 volt DC output.

So recently I put together the Champion engine I took pictures of, and bought a whole bunch of heat shrink bullet connectors. The Briggs three-wire regulator I bought only put out 1 volt DC at idle, so I found a thread that had a link to a Honda motorcycle voltage regulator/rectifier, which I then bought. Once that comes in I'll hook up the electrical system, I'm also waiting for a headlight to come in the mail.

Well, turns out the Briggs regulator needs a battery in the circuit to work! Now it charges the battery even at idle at about 13.5v, it seems to top out at about 14v. I hooked up the battery and most of the wiring, just waiting for that darn headlight to come in!

The blue light is the high beam indicator.
