Can a CT110 be converted to 12 volt?
The CT110 has an AC-powered headlight, powered directly from the stator. This is not a good engine to attempt a 12 Volt conversion on. A CT110 on 12 Volts would be even less desirable with its split AC/DC electrical system, since the headlight does not benefit from having a battery to boost Voltage at low engine speed.
Can a Honda CT90 be converted to 12 volt?
The electricity recharges the battery, powers the lights and ignition system. The CT90 has a DC-powered headlight, powered from the battery. A few people have converted a 6 Volt CT90 to 12 Volt operation by swapping all the bulbs, battery, and ignition system for 12 Volt parts.
Can a Honda Trail bike be converted to 12 volt?
They can output a few extra Watts for a while, but long term the windings will be cooked and fail. The best CT110 12 Volt conversion I have seen with a stock 6 Volt stator, has 12 Volt LED lights and a 4 Amp 12 Volt hour battery, and a 35/35 Watt incandescent CT110 headlight as used on the later model Australian Postie bikes.
How long does it take to convert a 6V motor to a 12V?
6V to 12V Conversion – in ten minutes !! 6V to 12V Conversion – in ten minutes !! 6V to 12V Conversion – in ten minutes !! It’s been done, swapping 12V components onto a 6V motor.

Neal is telling you the truth: if you really want 12 Volts, install a clone engine.
Which is best 6 volt or 12 volt headlight?
The best CT110 12 Volt conversion I have seen with a stock 6 Volt stator, has 12 Volt LED lights and a 4 Amp 12 Volt hour battery, and a 35/35 Watt incandescent CT110 headlight as used on the later model Australian Postie bikes. Keep us posted on your efforts. One of the best 6 Volt setups you will see on here belongs to George from NJ.
Can a 6 volt be converted to a 12 volt?
A few people have converted a 6 Volt CT90 to 12 Volt operation by swapping all the bulbs, battery, and ignition system for 12 Volt parts. The CT90 stator does not make enough Voltage at low engine speed to make this a viable option for most people, but for some folks its proven okay. Your opinion of dim lights at idle may vary.
