If you want headlights on your 50, besides the obvious pars list e.g. headlight, regulator, yada yada yada, you need a way to create electricity. You can of course buy a pre-wound stator for around $75 or you can diy for a fraction of the cost.
Before you pop off the stator cover and flywheel, you will need to order some magnet wire. I got mine on ebay from magnet*wire*usa. And, from what I have read online, 18awg and 65 turns seem to be the magic numbers, so that’s what I used. It cost a little over $20 for 200 feet which I hear is enough to wrap 2 stators.

The new motor is complete. It has a TB108 Stage 3 kit, TB manual clutch, and an AHP 4 speed transmission.
The install was pretty straight forward, but there’s several things worth mentioning…

Here are some pics of the baja completed. The motor needs a little tuning and I need to shorten up some cables, but for now it’s pretty much done. =)

Here’s a spreadsheet I made in Excel that shows how all the wires connect inside the headlight bucket. =)

Note: the numbers beside the colors where applicable show those wires have “x” amount of inter connects.

For this build, I went with 8 inch Jincheng 2.5 rim halves that I had left over from my monkey project and Honda 71 Z50AK2 hubs which I found on ebay. In order to align the rear wheel with the CRF swingarm, I machined a 10.5-11mm spacer for the sprocket side and mounted the offset rim halves so that the wider side (valve stem side) was facing the drum brake.
