I have an 03 Sprint which is set up for long distance riding - GPS, aux fuel cell, etc. I've also installed a digital voltmeter so I can keep an eye on the electrical status (I'm an engineer - GIVE ME DATA). When I turn on my pair of 35W driving lights, even at 4000+ RPM, the volts drop from a max of 13.7 down to 12.5 - 12.9. With my Gerbing heated jacket its even worse. If I stop for a light I could be in 11V range - ***?
I am into elegant wiring solutions and this suggestion sounds like the best couple of hours I could ever spend. I'd really like to see 14V on that meter!
