Has anyone ever measured the voltage on the taillight terminals of a '95 Monster 900?
I'm working on a custom taillight, but I won't be around my bike the next two weeks :-\ 

Thnx for the help!

It should be battery voltage...or very close to it.

No regulators (or whatsoever) involved?

Nope...I'm assuming you mean resistors.

The bulb is a 12v bulb.

youd need a diode to prevent feedback voltage from destroying the bulb then.

Everyone knows that the flux capacitor has to be wired in paralell.

In the northern hemisphere yes, but don't forget how the coriolis effect disturbs the magnatron in the southern hemisphere.
