Honda TL250 TRIALS 1976 US Forum

Hello to the forum, I have a '76 TL250 thatI purchased last year in really fantastic original condition. However it has never had any lighting as my original one had in '76. I have been searching around and found original lighting components and am now attempting to complete the wiring of the lighting system.

I have identified the wiring requirements, i.e., what goes to what, but am concerned that I may need a regulator, not shown in any of the wiring diagrams I have found, as the magneto develops 24v ac at idle and up to 48v at revs...

Can someone tell me what I need and how it connects, the headlight I have is 6V, and the tail light is 12v, I suspect 6v was the correct bulb voltage, but not sure if that is true, it's been many years since I owned one with lighting.

Thank you in anticipation, David Toohey

Thank you for your reply, I must respectfully point out that these bikes do not have batteries, there is nowhere to put one! So I am no more enlightened so far.

Regards, David
