[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 108748, member: 456"] I too had a Bell conversion as that seemed to be the best available at the time. It did all that it was supposed to do but required a 'handful' of high revs to get the regulator to kick in, after which it was fine. The problem was that at low revs it would not keep up to the head light when out at night on some of the local country roads. I had to resort to going round slow corners in first gear to keep the headlight bright, otherwise is became unacceptably dim and yellow. This was with a decent battery. The difference in the light coming out of a 60 watt bulb at eleven volts and the same system at 14+ volts is really noticeable. Hence the Walkernator. [/QUOTE]
