Watts consumed by stock 2006 fltri
greglyon:
I am about to add extra lighting and heated clothes to my 2006 fltri as well as my 2003 flhrsei2. I believe each has a 50 amp alternator. Does anyone know what the stock bikes use in normal conditions? Also, what is the max output for the alternator?
Thanks
DREBBIN:
Key for me when installing the PIAA big lights was NOT to use the ACC switch. I did on my 04 FLTRI. MAJOR FUSE PROBLEMS. Only use the PIAA or other make IN LINE fuse by going direct to the batt. When I had both PIAA and Heated gear on I cld see my voltmeter just barely hold at 12-13.
On my 06 CVO Ultra, I have the PIAA lights on the batt with their switch and in line fuse; heated gear also direct to batt.
The voltmeter never moves; strong and steady.
Bottom line, IMHO, the power is there on your bikes; controlling access and distribution with prpoer connection and fusing is the key, IMHO. DREBBIN

I am going to use the Gerbing liner and gloves times 2 ( for passenger) Per Gerbing at full power that would be 99 watts per or 198. I will use their 15 amp fused battery harnesses connected directly to the battery.
DREBBIN:
Let me know how your Gerbing does. I'm in dire t contact with their regional rep. He has had to replace EVERYTHING on mine - TWICE !! Right now this set has been running for 1600 miles. That already has bested the previous two sets which pooped out by 1200 miles. Thnx, DREBBIN
