![]() As for voltage regulation, well, there isn't any.it's all dependent upon getting the total bulb draw matched to maximum alternator output. It's not possible with an OEM sealed-beam. Conversely, it's possible to get a brighter HL by using a lower wattage bulb. The tradeoff will likely be a dimmer headlight. The easiest & cheapest way to extend HL bulb life is to upsize, ie. That said, really can't blame the engineers for not expecting the bikes to be viable a half-century later. IMHO, it's unrealistic to expect every OEM electrical component, down to the last bulb, to be available with exactly the same specs and nothing to ever oxidize. That could be anything from conductivity, to a ground point to real-world (actual) bulb wattages. Honda engineers did their homework, matching the electrical load to alternator output, keeping the "rubber band stretched tight". When total wattage drops, that's when voltage spikes. It's why a blown fuse can quickly result in flashbulbs, also the reason for the primary ignition circuit being included in the battery plug. Over voltage isn't really a problem, until a major current draw is removed from the system. AFAIK all of the direct replacement rectifiers.OER & aftermarket reproductions.are silicon and have been for several years, now.
