I want to make sure I won't be overloading the FJR1300AE's electrical system!

I want to connect up the following items:

1) IWay 500c

2) Autocomm system

3) PIAA lights

4) Horn

Too much or should I be OK?

Best Regards,

Shane

 
Depends on which PIAA's. They can eat up most of your available power. Plus what if you want to power up some electrics for warmth? I have the Cycle Gadget PIAA's in the reduce wattage with their brackets. I run the asutocom with gps and tasdar detector, heated grips and a widder vest. I usually have enough power.

 
The FJR1300AE comes with heat grips and I don't care for other "heat" items.

I am hoping to use the PIAA 1100X like I have on my GL1800 - they work great if you do a lot of night time riding.

Best Regards,

Shane

 
The use of the PIAAs and your heated grips together might be an issue. Used one at a time, you're basically okay here, but you're pretty close to your limit just with the PIAAs alone.

Using PIAAs and heated grips turned on high, you'll watch your Datel readout seriously sink down.
