I originally wanted to go with LED lighting to reduce stress on my charging system. It seems that given the fact that I have a 3 phase stator, I will be doing just the opposite.

Now it occurs to me that I may have to make changes to my charge warning light.
If you are moving to LED lighting, and if you have a LED headlight (?), and since you have no e-start, you likely are running hard with a 3-phase stator. Your Podtronics will fail (dont ask how I know). Consider one of two options - a normal output stator, or a MOSFET reg/rect.
