Alright guys, I've been snooping around here for awhile. I started with this idea to build a supermoto type blaster probably about 3 years ago but I sort of got burnt out. I had bought an 89 and I had started to build that up to what I wanted but I got shut out when I went to get the title and it was $100 for just that! At that point I had given up and I started to part that bike out. About three months ago I was looking around Facebook and I found a towing yard selling an 01 with a title and a seized engine for $300! The guy at the yard said the guy tried to run from the police and the motor seized. That was fine with me I had a motor sitting at home. I bought that thing and now we're caught up. So basically my plans are to rebuild the motor from the original bike to stock because it has low compression. The other motor I plan to go with a +3 crank, 240 kit, a v-force 4 reed cage, aluminum air box, up sized carb, and I'm not really sure about the exhaust. But, where I'm stuck right now is with the wiring. I'm putting in a battery and I found a wiring diagram on google but I'm just not sure about the regulator rectifier. Do I remove the stock one and just run one? If anyone has done anything like this please let me know! I do have a YouTube channel where I update but I am going to be updating here more regularly. It is going to be a slow build but promise me It'll be worth the wait. Thank guys! ride safe!

Here's the wiring diagram I found:

When you wire like this you remove the factory regulator, the regulator/rectifier In the diagram not only takes care of voltage regulation, but also rectification from AC to DC power. The stock regulator would no longer be needed, and would only serve to feed power through to the frame.
In this kind of setup the frame cannot serve as both an AC (ignition ground) and a DC (lighting ground). Typically the frame ground remains intact for the ignition system, and the modified lighting system, would use its own ground wire. When you do this the lighting coils grounds will have to be floated off of the frame.
There is some additional information on here about this. Just search for it, or maybe someone will chime in with the link.

Perfect! I really appreciate the advice.
