Hatfield Mccoy trails

Hi all, Just wanted to check in and report my experience this year at Hatfield. I stayed with approx 30 guys at Powerhouse ATV lodge. Crazy place with eerie history. Anyway, there were only 6 or so dirt bike riders, 10 four wheelers, and the rest side by sides. Over the last 7 years I have stayed wi...

Re: Ac to D.C. Ktm voltage conversion

I really appreciate everyone's input. While I trust that the led can handle the conversion, rectifiers are cheap. I am going to put on in line just in case. The last thing I want is voltage back feed in the bike. I'll post pics

Basically the exc models come with front and rear integrated brake switches which light the tail light brighter when applied. I have no such thing. So an inline rectifier to my...

Re: Ac to D.C. Ktm voltage conversion

I tried a bridge rectifier on my 250 EXC 2T a while ago. It wasn't the cleanest signal, but it did work. It should be fine for the LED tail as long as it's got a reasonable range of something like 3 to 24V or so since mine often spiked around 16V when I was on the throttle. I also think Baja Design...

Ac to D.C. Ktm voltage conversion

So I ordered an led tail light to replace my broken setup. After checking output voltage I realize that it is AC voltage. Led light wants D.C. Has anyone done this easily? I don't want to convert whole bike yet. Just tail. I can use bridge rectifier but any suggestion? 2011 Ktm 450 xcw Sent from my ...
