I'm considering mounting Motolights on my '03 TBS,they use 70 watts and draw about 6 amps. Does anyone know if the electrical system on my bike can handle this? It doesn't seem like much.

I've got a set on my bird, with the upgrade to 50-watt MR16's. It does just fine with the 100-watt draw.

They're a great product and perform very well.

My dealer says that what you have is an automobile alternator and that you can't overload the system. So put lights all over it and make it look like a GoldWingHarley.
