When these legendary early 1980s 3-wheelers left the assembly line, they were designed without a factory battery, running entirely off an AC magneto circuit. Honda engineered this ultra-rare accessory kit as a complete factory-optional upgrade path so riders could convert their machine to a modern DC charging system. This allows your vehicle to house a standard 12-volt battery, maintain a constant charge, and cleanly power auxiliary electrical upgrades, aftermarket lighting, or standard accessories.
This all-inclusive master conversion package contains the core structural assemblies alongside every single specialized factory mounting clip, wire harness, and protective element required for a seamless installation:
