I have two problems.

The first, is the lower tree. Actually more like the threaded tube that connects the top tree to the bottom. It's ovaled. My question is, is there a way to round it out again, without mushrooming it? I was thinking of using a pipe cutter with the blade taken off.

And secondly, the electronics. Of course it's going to be a batterless system, but without lights and such, how would I wire it? Would I still need a capacitor? Or would I just wire it straight to the coils?

You could just find a replacement lower triple clamp or machine that one out and replace it with a custom machined stem or just cut the top off and weld on a replacement custom top part.

As for ignition, many of us run batteries without problems. Batteryless needs a charging system and I'd rather get that off the end of the crank and run a battery instead. Others prefer a self generating system like the ones from PVL, Motoplat (defunct) Krober, HPI, FEMSA etc.

I'd just stick a DYNA S on the end of the crank and use a small battery and keep it on a charger between races.
