do any of the Harley guys or anyone know the answer. does anyone run an electronic ignition without a battery or is points the only way to do it.
Sorry, I meant to respond. The other caveat is when the draw occurs and consistent supply is important. You can supply it with a capacitor, though.bracketmaker said:went on chop cult. looks like some bikes can and some can't and it depends on the charging system. many run a small battery. the answer is that the dyna uses twice the current as points. the bike in question has trouble at idle with a 30w headlight so its not going to happen.
