My new Tri Z project.

[this old rz]

I set these in place tonight for a photo. I originally wanted this look, a desert (baja design) style wrap around guard.
This would look cool..but even these lights are 130 watts each...we'd have to get super creative to power up these..260 watts with some kind of super stator & the aftermarket LEDs probably deliver more light..thats amazing.

This is what was used on the Larry Roessler, Ty Davis, Danny Hamel bike in 1994 to win the Baja 1000 . They are good even at more than 100 MPH.

On reading up on the Tri Z, it states "Oil Bath" CDI. Cant say I've ever heard that? I've never heard of a average CDI unit requiring cooling?

Anyone care to school me on this, and any pros & cons.

I was browsing Ricky Stators website & came across this , ("AC to DC converter" kit.)

https://www.bajadesigns.com/products...-Converter.asp

From what I read, It eliminates the need for a stator rewind, rectifier, system ground rework. Although it stated its use is to be used. "as part" of one of their existing baja designs lighting assemblies? What is it? & could we build it? EDIT: I think it might be a combination if a capacitor(battery eliminator/ diode etc.. I looked at YOU TUBE & Googled AC to DC converter, & more reading popped up than I can read before I go to work..looks like our adventure bike/ Enduro brothers have this type of project well documented

If utilizing their lights..its a nice goal..and now that Im thinking about it..if it allows one to use their existing 100% stock electrical system..it might actually be CHEAPER than retrofitting the electrical system. Depending upon light fixture cost of course. Ricky Stator do have some paired LED lights for around $350..

Id like to learn more about this ; its pros & cons as well as the price too, I did not see anything regarding cost.?

I'm torn between a baja style twin round lights (HID or LED) vs. retrofitting the stock headlights w LEDs.

"Hella" looks to have some cost effective LEDs in 7" round housings..& some possibly viable LED fixtures as well if going w retrofitting the stock fixture.

Lights appear like they will be no problem sourcing, as after researching for a couple of weeks, there is a plethora of them on the market for virtually any budget.
