[QUOTE="mercurycrest, post: 17568, member: 64"] :eek:Hi Steve, That shouldn't hurt anything as long as the battery leads are clear of each other. BTW, did it show a charge or the lights work? My A Comet with a Lucas Magdyno will run the lights and toot the horn (barely) with just residual magnitism and no battery in the system. Of course it works a damn sight better with a proper battery. I discovered this by accident one day when I touched the horn button on a test ride with no battery on the bike and it went "BEEP!!!!":eek: Cheers, John [/QUOTE]
