Hey All,
I currently have a 1975 XS650 which my best buddy is helping me build while I live in Cairo, Egypt. I'm a teacher at an international school.
The whole plan is to keep the bike as naked as possible, but I feel like I'm going to have to bit the bullet and put a battery on somewhere to power the lights and whatnot. Does anyone know what the smallest I can go with, 4-cell? I'd really like to go with the cleanliness of a MotorGadget set-up, but it sounds like I'll need something for it all to work.
The bike itself has a DavidBird HT frame with 4 inches of stretch and 2 inches of drop, and a Hugh's Hand built Complete CDI system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, like I said, I want it too look as naked as possible.
Cheers!
Darrell
