Yeppers, Thats about it, if you wanna just charge the battery yourself and dont have any lights to worry about. If she starts fast its not that much of a drain on the battery and the ignition only pulls like 4 to 5 amps so a good battery well charged will run ya a long while if shes not started real often. Its cheaper to buy an add on external voltage dropping (12 to 6) ballast resistor (wired in series with coil ahead of it after the switch) then a full 12 volt coil though. They are available at like Rural King or Tractor Supply or Central Tractor or NAPA and usualy from 1.5 to 1.85 ohms around 30 watts. The rest of the 12 Volt conversion aint all that expensive either cuz all you need is the genny changed to 12 volts or else try n cheat it by using a 12 volt VR (if its a VR system) or a 12 volt Cutout Relay and a correct light switch (it regulates the gennys field current).
