If you do this, make sure you run the proper charging setup!
I think for a battery, you need a REGULATOR not a RECTIFIER (or maybe I have that backwords)
Vehicals that just have headlights, but no battery, use I believe a regulator, and it shunts the power over 12v to the frame... Problem with this is, if your battery is at say 12.6v holding a good charge, the regulator will drop it down to 12v and kill your battery..
However bikes with a battery and headlights, have a rectifier, that regulates the voltage a different way, so that it can't drain the battery..
(I might have regulator and rectifier mixxed up)
