Converting CB100 to 12 Volts

whynot
As the title says, I'm converting my CB100 to 12 volts.

I have all parts needed to do the convert, except I'm not really sure which battery will fit into the original battery spot.

I'm hoping that some one will ring in with the exact battery they used.

Thanks in advance for any and all info.

I do not know where you are located, but I am sure there is a Batteries Plus by you. I would go there and look at the batteries on their display to find the right one for your application. That is what I do when I need a battery for a custom application.
Please post about how you are doing the conversion.

Changing the stator with one from a CL350, and retifiers, and regulators.

And bulbs.

Does the stator just bolt in, or do you have to do modifications?

Haven't really checked myself.......

I bet it must be kinda hard to find 6 volt stuff. Not sure the last time I saw something that was 6 volts.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
