So . . . can an '03 fjr battery system support 96 - 120 watts?

Well, I'm going to come up with some numbers here, but wanna know if it'll overload it.  And if I need to factor in the higher output aftermarket stator, please do.  But I'd prefer to leave the stator stock if possible.

SYMTEC Grip Heaters: 3 Amps at 13.5volts (40.5 watts)
Russell Day long heated seat for myself and passenger: 1.5 amps each  (figure around another 40.5 watts)
J&M CB radio w/ headsets for myself and passenger: no idea of the draw
Zumo 550: (15 watts)
Audiovox Cruise Control: (no idea)
Accessory outlet (probably will just use to charge phone so it won't be a constant draw)

So total is at least 96 watts, but I'm not sure how much is needed by those other things.  So I figure 120 is probably a good high guess.

THanks all.

It's estimated there are about 120 spare watts in the Gen 1 bikes.  See this link for more details.  http://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=4295

You should have enough for the items listed, but not much more.  A trick commonly used is to install a Datel meter and monitor voltage crop.

Every head light bulb that you can replace with a HID will gain you 25 watts in power saved. Just another way to gain a few more watts
