Well Im tring to run a simple brake light and have no power? The battery is dead but hooked up. And I was thinking the little red wire hooked to the battery would have power to run a light after starting? Or is there anywhere I can pull power from to just wire it up my self? I failed to say this is a frankin bike and has no lights kinda stripped dwn to frame and seat..lol

I want to pull power from the wire hooked to the coil?

Get a new battery, without a battery you will burn up your R/R and even you bulbs may start to burn up. Also any gauges that are on there will not work the gauges work off the battery just like the Stop Lights and running lights.

actually everything is unhooked. Except the coil it seems.Theres no way to just rig one until I can properly run one. I did install a automotive magnetic tail/brake light. Just trying to get by so I dnt get hassled for a brake light?

Well you know your brake lights will be dimmer than crap don't you. The stator does not produce a lot of Electricity at low rpms. But you will have to hook it up to the output from the R/R which converts the ACV voltage from the Stator to DC to run some lights.

Nice, Do you know which wire would be best? i think there is four wires on the r/r? i was thinking the red?

Let me look at a wiring for a 4 wire R/R the red might be to charge the battery.

Have you got a yellow wire diagrams show yellow going to lights, red going to battery.
