Default Lights w/o a Battery?

I'm sure this is simple, but how do the lights on a bike like this work? Obviously kick start 100% of the time.



As a side note. Check out the custom bikes.

I'm sure that Motor has some kind of charging system on it that powers the lights when the motor Is running.

Magneto (sp?) built into the transmission. when its cold and idleing low you'll see the light dimming and brightening but once it runs smooth the light will be steady.

Could you do that on any motor or only one that came that way?

No one likes the awesome customs on the link I posted?!

I love them. You can do that to a lot of bikes. Remove the battery.
