[QUOTE="deejay499, post: 8776, member: 268"] I have the alternator set up from timetraveller on my Prince outfit, luckily hidden under the cowls. Today I went for a ride to try out my recently fitted heated grips and with them turned on and entering a tunnel, put my headlights on (also have one on the sidecar) and even at low engine revs, the ammeter did not budge. Even when coming to a stop, it balances easy. Only a small 4ah battery is fitted. I have also posted a couple of photos of my rear disc brake set up. As the Prince has no mudguard stays, it can be mounted at the top, and only the bottom of the disc is visible from a little way off or by bending down. I have kept the single rear drum working as you may as well have all the braking possible on an outfit. Both drum and disc work off the same pedal, with the drum as original and the hydraulic cylinder working off the back of the pedal. I could post photos of the pedal set up if anyone is interested. Up front, I have racing type plates, instead of discs, as the weight transferance to the front is a lot less on an outfit especially with a light chair. A sidecar brake is also fitted.
