A 12 volt generator conversion is pretty straightforward and works fine. One option is to have a auto electric shop rework your existing 6 volt generator to 12 volts, then install a suitable 12 volt regulator. 2nd option is to obtain a 12 volt generator and replace the existing 6 volt unit. If you choose this option, make sure you get the matching regulator for the 12 volt generator - a mismatched regulator could ruin your new generator! Wiring is relatively simple too. You can re-use the existing wiring harness if it's in good shape. Only wiring change is the generator field wire (connected the field control terminal at the light switch on the original 6 volt setup), will instead be connected to the "F" terminal on the new 12 volt regulator. Also don't forget you will need to add a ballast resistor in series with the ignition coil primary. Or you can replace the existing coil with a 12 volt coil.
