Will this work on a bike with a 6 volt electrical system? Anybody seen an option for headlights and/or taillights for bikes with 6 volt systems?

Dear Bullfrog123, Thanks for your interest in our product. This item can work on 6 volt electrical system but it will not bright as normal. The best one is 12 VoltsThanks and regards,Astra Depot

This model is for 12 volt applications. If your motorcycle is 6 volt it would not work (or you would need a second 6 volt to wire in series). If the battery is 12 volt this would be a good fit for a motorcycle.

It would depend on how much space is between the handlebars and the basket, but I don't see why not. If you don't want to spend the money before you're sure, maybe you can stop by your local bike shop and ask those guys! I just don't want to give you a definitive answer only to have these lights not work for you, that would bum me out!

this is not a plug and play setup. it's for 24W max so unless you change your headlamps to low power LEDs, it will likely not work. Your standard headlights are 50-65W each. besides you would not want to wire this to your primary headlights. if it fails your headlights will fail too. Instead, get high quality white cree leds and mount them besides your headlights and wire them that way. That is how cop cars do it. Separate bulbs, separate wiring for strobes.

The light is attached by a long cord to a battery that needs to be mounted to your bike. If you attached to your helmet, you'd have a wire going down your back. I'd say no

Thick heavy one piece billet aluminum case, approx 2000 lumens bright white with 2 wires(black/red) installed on a rubber bumper 12 volt car. I am not an electrician you can call CREE for that but it should work on 6 volt probably not as bright. Some LED's can only be connect one way or they will not light but you can give it a try with a positive ground

You can use any style light you want as long as it is a 6 volt; the only thing that is attached 2 the generator are the wires. You can even put a higher watt 6 volt bulb. But it also depends on the quality of the generator. I only got this set 4 my motorized mountain bike so I won't even b using it and I can't tell u how good it is. Hope this helps :)

Yes. It's s 2 wire 12vdc. You'd have to tie it into the headlight. Minimal amperage draw with LEDs, so no risk of to much draw.

Do you get a led compatible flasher to go with the turn signal? Mine works fine with led tail lights.

I would highly recommend The Boss MC400. As for your question, I hooked mine up to the License plate light. It comes on only when the power is on and goes off when I turn the ignition off. I guess you could put your own switch on the bike, I would just add wire and a switch. On my bike that would be a really easy job to do, but I am always using the stereo so the way it's hooked up works just fine.

No I personally don't. I bet you could get a couple of these and run the blinker wires through them. One relay for each side and it'd do just fine. I personally recommend buying a different light though. This thing crapped out on me the first week. The mount for your license plate and the base structure of it to bolt to your bike is cheap plastic. If you do end up getting one though, these are the relays I'd recommend.

Sure this system will work on any bike. Just cut the hot wire at the last plug(plug must be for a Harley) and wire direct to the positive side of battery also put a toggle swith on the positive wire too because the amp will still draw juice from the battery. Other wise system works fine.

Sorry, for my last response. It should work fine on your bike. Be careful on how long you leave it activated without running the bike. Two weeks could drain the battery. I just wish that the range would be greater.

These should work just as well on a 4 wheeler as they do on my motorcycle. The lights are bright and adhesive backing very strong if you clean the area with alcohol. The connection between the battery and the switch for turning the lights on and off is a bit short. You may need to extend that wiring a bit depending on where you want to mount the switch. Good product...Good luck... j.d.

I see lots of opinions here and mine will be no different. I have an '05 FXDX Dyna. I pulled the tail light and spliced into the wiring to allow them to always be on (I tested to ensure I had the right wires for the desired effect). I recall black, brown and purple wires.

Got me- I got the same effect when I tried. The voltage reducer was completely fried. I'm guessing but I suspect the reducer could handle the voltage but not the amps. I wrote it off to a lesson learned and did not try again. It appears the Yamaha unit which is much larger, heavier, and 4x more expensive is the right choice. FYI- in my case I'm using the lights primarily as marker lights on my cart rather than true headlights. I've got 6- 8 volt batteries. I hooked up the lights to just one battery. Not nearly as bright as 12v, but plenty bright for markers, and the headlights give me more than enough light to drive the short distances that I go. Good luck!

I had my Harley dealer.wire mine into my headlight. It comes with the wire to connect. You could most likely do it yourself
