    Hello everyone. I have a slew of electrical mods I want to make to the bike. I recently installed a louder 139db horn using a relay. However, I want to add a radio, speakers, driving lights, additional turn signals, and put stobes into my brake lights. With all of this electrical work, I'm worried about drawing more amperage than my R/R can sustain, but I'm unable to locate the limits for the electrical system.

    Does anyone know, or know where I can find, the amperage outputs and requirements of a stock 6th Gen electrical system?

    Thanks!

    497 Watts, or about 37.65 Amps @ 13.2 Volts. That's the maximum "Alternator Capacity" as listed in the shop manual.
