The goal here is just having cars see us, not headlights etc. battery operated Christmas lights might work, but i am afraid because of the cold weather, the AA batteries would run out quickly, and may not be bright enough so cars can really see us. I just would like to prevent an accident while on the town streets. Thanks in advance for your help. Any kind of lighting or battery system could work here.
If you're worried about the lights not being that bright, get a few strands. Or just use a couple of those flashing bicycle lights.
It's definitely a Kawasaki (that's what's printed on the round black engine cover!), but hard to tell what size. They all had the same styling. Most likely a KZ900, KZ1000 or KZ1100. But possibly a KZ750. Kickstarters had been eliminated by around 1980. The seat and exhaust system are not stock, and the handlebars may well be lower than the original ones.
Looks like a Kawasaki LTD 440. Or maybe a Honda Nighthawk 750. Bad Picture.
LED Long Duration Lantern Lowes sells them for about $15 that will run for over 120 hours on a single set of batteries. They also have a mode that you can set them for white, yellow or flashing yellow.
Either a car/marine deep cycle battery or a small generator. Not much options there. AS for the lights you might need a power convertor depending on the type f light you want to use.
