Electrical capacity and Aux lights
Brian,
I also wondered about the capacity and have calculated it more than once, read most of the threads here, and still wonder. However, I do have some experience to offer. Last year I added two 55 watts aux lights wired to the battery though a switched relay. All the components came with the kit and have worked without trouble for a year. I use the aux lights at night and during bad weather. This winter I added a heated vest (tied into the Triumph plug under the tank) but intuitively decided that would exceed the electrical capacity and chose to not run both the 110 watt lights and 45 watt vest together.
I just installed a watt saver (relay kit) from Buck Sport Touring that will turn off the low beam if the aux lights are on. High beam still works normally with the aux lights on. Both the high and low beam work with the aux lights off.
Looking forward to bright lights and a heated vest next winter.
Good luck
Mike
