Re: Easiest way

Tape a flashlight to the bars.

Can you be more specific on what you are wanting to accomplish? What year is your Z50, etc...

Re: Easiest way

you should be able to pick up a lighting coil on ebay for liek 12 bucks. then you just need a voltage regulator which is also like 12 bucks on ebay. Dr ATV sells the voltage regulators too. Then i would go to auto zone and buy a fog light, and then boom your done. on DRATV.com they have a diagram on how to wire the voltage regulator.

I've used a Niterider bicycle headlight. Works great, very bright and mounts up with velcro. You can find them online or at your local bicycle shop.

Beware when using the Chinese stators. Most will only work with the matching flywheel. You're better off using one of the Ricky's units that Tmas linked up or a Baja ($70 to $75). You can use your original Honda flywheel and the output is better. Get either the Rickys or Baja regulator too (around $17) Any Parts Unlimited dealer can also get them for you. Then you can run either an Accerbis headlight/number plate or a Pepboys foglight.
