or do i need more?

You will need a regulator/rectifier.

The stator only supplies 55w so y9u will need to remove the tail light.

mine never came with a tail light but is that the regulator i need or do i need a different one?

 

[MercMenace]

you can run it as is but it will flicker at idle. if you want to keep it from flickering you will need a regulator/rectifier.

What you posted is a regulator.

this is a regulator/rectifier.

so will it be ok to run just a regulator or will it kill my light bar

 

[MercMenace]

You have a regulator on your bike. You can run the lights.

Using a rectifier is a better option, although the LEDs will illuminate using just a rectifier they will be switching off at the negative cycle and flickering may be noticed at lower revs..

The life of the LEDs may too be shortened.

The specs on that bar stipulate 12 to 30 volts DC.

You can make a cheap rectifier with diodes, as per diag.

So I can basically hook the light bar straight up to my blastrr without a recifter?

Short answer: Yes

Long answer: it will flicker due to being "turned" on and off constantly by the AC of the blaster. Add a rectifier and you will have a nice smooth light

alright thanks everyone

I am wanting to add led spotlights to my blaster as well.

Would this rectifier be ok to use?

Also, would this be good to put in parallel with the lights?

Top one is good! Prolly a bit over rated though!

Bottom one is not needed!

When I did my LED Conversion this is the Regulator/Rectifier that I used: HERE Its a little bit more expensive but it works great. Also im not sure if you need to do this 100% but i did just to be sure, I floated the ground on my starter as stated in previous threads. I have read that some say you have to float it and some say its not needed. It wasnt that hard to do so I did it anyways.

Can I add the rectifier right where the headlights hook up, or must I put it before the switches, right after the stator?

I dont actually think it matters, but im not 100% sure.

really as long as its connected to the right wires, the same current is going through it all.

although i havent looked at a diagram for a while so dont take my word for it
