thats an aftermarket GOKI electric start conversion kit cover. VERY RARE. you should easily be able to sell it for the price of two regular covers.

yup you sure can, but you need to keep an eye on power consumption. because the stock coil doesnt really put out too much, and if you exceed the max by too much you will kill the coil. if you really want output, you can always get it re-wound by baja designs or maybe ricky stator. ive also see people re-wind coils themselves.

actual wattage numbers were covered somewhere between page 1 and 50 in this thread if u wanna look it up which i highly reccomend.

I believe its a 60W total system? It might be 45...I can't remember. Its good for whatever the stock headlight wattage + the 5 W taillight wattage are combined. More than that and you'll be getting a little dangerous.
