Hey Guys,
I blew my LED headlight on my 81'H and replaced it with a Halogen. I did install a permanent volt meter recently to help monitor my charging issues. HHB PMA and R/R were not charging for a while and then it did. In the discussion of going all LED with a PMA I thought I would use this as chance to see if a regular 55w headlight would help prevent over charging...Well the volt meter with the LED hung right at 14+ volts at 3000+, but with the Halogen, the meter is not going above 12 volts.
Needless to say, I reordered a new LED, but I am confused about the charging issue. Also for discussion purposes, I have been thinking about going with a Mosfet, but now I am not sure. Everything was working/charging just fine. I know there are those who dislike the PMA because of it's potential to send too much current to the system if the R/R can't handle it, but everything had been working just fine. R/R cool to the touch after a ride and not overheating at the stator, etc.
So chime in if you would like.
