Oldie-Biker Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Hello Has anyone converted a Six Victory to 12 volts? How is the conversion of the alternator implemented? greeting Ralf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattml430 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I changed mine over to 12volts with electronic ignition and a fuel pump. changed the headlights to H4’s and put a small alternator on it. Work’s really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldie-Biker Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 That sounds good. That's how I want to do it too. What kind of generator did you install? and what ignition? did you leave the original starter? Das hört sich gut an. So möchte ich das auch machen. Was für einen Generator hast du eingebaut ? und welche Zündung? hast du den Originalen Anlasser gelassen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattml430 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I used a small Subaru alternator and just made a bracket up of the front of the old generator. I used the fast xr700 electronic ignition it’s easy to fit. I fitted an old bendex spring in-line with the starter power to drop it a few volts. I can take some pictures for you tomorrow if you need any. the engines start and run really nice with the electronic ignition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldie-Biker Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Yes, pictures would be very good. Did you convert the starter ? Ralf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bendix spring drops the voltage to take a bit of the load off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldie-Biker Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Thanks for the pictures. Very well done with the alternator. On the starter, I don't understand the spring. Should it work as a pre-resistor to reduce the tension? greeting Ralf Danke für die Bilder. Sehr gut gemacht mit der Lichtmaschine. Beim Anlasser verstehe ich das mit der Feder nicht. Soll die als Vorwiederstand arbeiten um die Spannung zu reduzieren ? Gruß Ralf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just takes a bit of a load of the 6 volt starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
