Any mods planned or just a nice standard restoration? let me know if you need parts.

I built mine from scratch.
You'll need to replace all the bulbs, the coil and the rectifier, the stator plate and the battery.
Your bike will just have a little rectifier diode on with a sleeved red wire that goes to the battery (this converts the current to D.C to charge the battery).
You could probably get away with converting without changing the stator plate and coil , see how it goes. I have a 12 stator if you need one though.

I have a 12 stator if you need one though. i looked from when they first introduced 12v to the bike and its the same stator so i think i'll be fine with that. Thanks though, just wanted to make sure |

Ah the K1 CG125
Should never have sold mine, great little bike.
I got loads of bits from David Silver too.
His replacement seats are brilliant

What wire colours do you have coming out of the rectifer? Are you sure it is a rectifier/ regulator and not just a rectifier. Reg/ Rec will run a DC system with a battery, a rectifier will run an AC system without a battery (and only has 2 connections)
