Re: "Honda stock electrics sucked almost as bad as Lucas."
I've never been able to understand the original stock Honda 350/360 charge system.
It appeared to be a SCR that shorted out the V+ after a selenium rectifier.
I replaced it with stud mount Si diodes and conventional linear regulator built with a germanium pass element to reduce Vf losses.
I'd loved to have had LED headlight, tail/brake lights and turn signals.

You know the reason Brits drink warm beer?
Lucas made their refrigerators.

I helped a friend restore a Triumph car, the electrics were Lucas. I learned "Rip out the entire electrical system and rebuild from the wiring up. I was 16 and it was the first time I realized "Oh damn! I don't have a clue....."

The best thing I can say about Lucus is nothing I will ever own will have Lucus e;ectrics
