This is from FlEYEingDubyah on Thumpertalk: http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=438469 I found the need to switch the AC circuit over to DC on my WR to handle my HIDs, grip heaters, and stock lights. I got a new regulator\rectifier and also learned that to complete switch to full DC, I would have to 'float the ground'. I had no idea what that meant and wasn't getting fast tech support so I searched ThumperTalk databases to find out what it meant. What I found were several instances where people were asking the same question, but without any experienced responses (Well, there was one response where the individual knew how to help, but only offered a phone number instead of instructions). The regulator\rectifier is a TrailTech item and I couldn't find any .pdfs of real help from their site, but I did find a WR250\450 .pdf at Baja Designs. It was very helpful and was an exact match for what I found in the inside of my motor. I am including some pics of what you would encounter should you need to make this conversion to your bike as well. the devil is in the details, so I left these pics in original size (sorry dial-up folks!) 1. Cover removed, stator still bolted in. We're going after the wire end that is in the clip with the brass tab extending from it to the Allen bolt:
