    Question I need electrical help!

    I'm sick of burning bulbs at higher RPM. I'm thinking of installing a capacitor between both my head light and tail light to filter and absorb any spikes.

    Am I crazy?

    If not, where and what kind of capacitor will work for AC current? I have recorded a maximum of 21v AC current when tested with a meter. I'm thinking a 50v AC in line capacitor would be perfect, but, finding one seems to be another story...

    Any help?

    Why don't you just install a voltage regulator? They are made for exactly that purpose. They are also cheap and simple to install. Here is a link to one offered by Parts Unlimited and it's made by Moose Racing:

    Briggs & Stratton (small engine manufacturer) also uses the same regulator block's on certain models of their engines.
