How many watts are the bulbs? I think any total more than 65-70 total will require a larger stator, or a rewound one. I got too big of lights for mine and run only 1 light at a time. I have seen a few threads recently on this. I think most recommended the stealy stator site. If you are still dim you can unplug your taillight for a little more power, very little.

EDIT:
So I was wrong, 35w, if you ran 2 stators you can use my numbers but I don't recomend it

You'll need a rewound lighting stator to run both bulbs at the same time.

Stock lighting coil is only good to about 37 watts. Anything more than that and you will have to get a bigger coil.
