    Or, you can change the whole system to 12V.
    Alt, Batt, Gauges, lights etc, and then re-wire it.
    I like to wire. Thats why I say that.

    I think about all you have to change, is generator, starter, bulbs, and you'll need a reducer circuit for the guages. unless you wanna change them out too.
