Many folks may not know that a 12 volt system amp draw is half of a 6 volt. Since our wiring was gauged for 6 volts and twice the amperage you end up with a heavy duty wiring harness... For touring an Alternator does a great job and hallogen headlights and LED tail and turn you are ready for some wonderful evening cruises with you better half!

I also recommend a modern bedix There is a lot more torque hitting it on 12 volts which can shear bolts. Easy mod. buy only the US made one however.
