Dual Sporting a 1997 FX600e

I recently purchased a Ca. plated frame for my 97 FX600e.

The wiring harness is the same as the FE. It has no provision for blinkers as does the Euro wiring harness or the U.S. FEE model. I was talking to Baja Designs, their Husaberg kits are for 03 and up Bergs and are designed to run DC power exclusively.

A couple of questions to begin:

Does the 97 run AC to the headlamp and DC to the rest? (no headlamp so I can't check for HL flicker)

Can you convert this model to 100% DC ? (SEM stator)

Why would a BD kit work on a 03 which has a SEM also but not on a 97 ? (or does it and they don't really know with regard to anything earlier than an 03)

How many watts go to the battery from the stator ? (BD says that 20 watts are the minimum to run their basic kit off DC with 80 being ideal.

Can Sparks rewind/modify a SEM for 100% DC power or for a higher wattage to the battery ?

Its very important that the battery remains fully charged and does not get run down as it is almost impossible to kick start due to lack of a kick start activated decompressor. Auto only.

Thanks Schultzy:

Did you use a Baja designs wiring harness?

So you essentially purchased this switch:



Ran power to it and then from the switch ran wiring to turn lamps, horn etc?

Has anyone purchased anything from this company?

The wiring harness looks like it may be a good fit although it does not have a front brake switch.

If I could get all the power to the battery it looks like it could just be connected to the battery and go.

If you had an FE (with lights) and could tap in a rear brake switch to the existing wiring then this looks like an easy way to add blinkers only and be done less a horn:
