You really don't have to do much and everything will work. Just connect the alt wire to your ammeter. I ran mine through the voltage reg only for looks and also to be doubly safe I jumpered the gen and batt terminals together(I've been told that it really isn't needed but I did it anyway). As for a radio you will have to get an 6V + grnd to 12V -grnd converter. I got mine off EBay. I can run a simple AM/FM radio and a GPS charging plug (12V).

Pros--- you can charge at idle speed

Cons- Looks- but you could always spend big bucks and get one of those alts that looks like a gen.
