I don't use the headlight when I'm using the invertor. You can also save some power by replacing indicator and stop/tail bulbs with LEDs. If you want daytime running lamps you can use a 20w bulb as a pilot light instead of dipped beam..

Could you further elaborate on step to step to install the inverter to the bike. Would really appreciate if can add with photo

Perhaps I should also point out that my bike has magneto ignition and a kickstart as a backup to the electric start.
The main thing to check is that you are getting a reading of at least 13 volts at cruising speed with your electrical load on, by using a multimeter or voltmeter.
