Hey Headsmess, Ya gotta explain that one. Nobody ever accused me of being like smart or anything. (smart a$$ perhaps.) Will a flat coil pick up a charge from the mag? Will it put out 6V?

... yes, please do explain- I THINK I catch your drift, but I am not sure... if the coil is concentric to the mag, it SHOULD put out DC instead of AC. At the very least, a couple of tank caps will be required to even the pulses. Would be an interesting ... experiment? Out of pure frustration, I clipped the white wire on my first build three years ago- seems the "Beach Breeze" would be a perfect candidate for this concept... but please fill some details-
Hey, It's only been a couple days. Give the guy a chance to work it out. Or perhaps he was just "funnin" with us.
I know the Sarge ain't happy about it, but I still think the cheapie 6V coil, along with Sgt. Howards light set may be a viable alternative to a missing white wire. Still a lot less expensive than the complete set from Mightywonderfull.

Well, this thread finally got me to register, so next is an intro I guess. I have just joined the motor-bike world a few weeks ago and I'm addicted. I've been reading up on running lights off the engine and was deep into the $5 diy thread with such high hopes. I got to this thread and thought.. "Did I have a white wire???" No, I don't. I got my kit from gasbike.net. I will love it if another solution comes out, but am truely sad. Sgt, just have to say that your thread was amazing and it sucks that it may be a thing of the past now.
