Work required is similar but different. The floating AC requires the generator removing and modifying. This allows the existing grounds for lights to remain in place. Floating the DC system, does not need any mods to the generator side of things. But the whole DC system needs the earths tying back to the battery or capacitor and off the frame.

For me floating the DC is the best solution. Hence writing an install how to (now a sticky)

If you want lights that are bright all the time, at idle and full throttle, DC is the only way to go. You choose floating AC or floating DC, which ever you are most comfortable with with - either will work.

I used Trailtech battery (under side panel beside air filter) and Trailtech rectifier/regulator and installed a 65w full size halogen headlamp (Ricky Stator) and led flashers and tail light.
