I bought the bike with the Baja Designs kit installed. I believe the PO said he had the dealer install it. It is the newer kit with the battery, regulator, flasher and horn mounted inside the headlight. I noticed it still uses the factory regulator under the seat, which contradicts what the BD instructions say.
According to the instructions, you should use the driving/parking lamp if you don't have the coil re-wound. I've found this to be true. I put in an LED driving bulb in place of the 5 watt one and the bike has an LED tail light. It charges the little nicad battery quickly, unless you run the 35 watt headlight, which will run bright, but discharges the battery fairly quickly and renders the turn signals usless.
I think the regulator mounted to the headlight is a rectifier, but I'm not sure. In short the kit works real well, and should be great when I get a higher output coil. BD claims they can re-wind the stator to put out 120 watts. I have a set of led turn signals I have yet to install. I don't plan on using the bike for street duty, I have some big thumpers for that, but I like having the plate to ride to and connect trails.
