Riding through some pine forests south of Gaffney SC. Temps in the low 60s and cloudless sky. You hear my half of the conversations Charley and I have. Love those G4 headsets. Working on getting both sides of the conversations. Play in HD, don't know why YouTube doesn't start videos that way. You have to click on the little wheel on the bottom right.

Nice...and nice looking weather. I see your voltmeter is still acting up. They ever find out what is wrong?
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice one, gcarper. Look forward to being able to hear Charlie. He made you laugh a fair bit.

The battery was shot, replaced under warranty. Plugged in a digital voltmeter with the heated jacket and gloves. It showed 13 volts, turned on the grip heaters and it dropped to 12.5--barely staying ahead. The light blinks because I have the jacket and gloves turned down from max. Warm enough that day to do that. My riding friend Charley in the video has a Gold Wing 1500 also and he said it acts the same. Can't supply enough amps to run 2 people in heated gear. Sad.
Do you have the 90 watt jacket? The CB's alternator is not exactly a power house.
How many amps is the CB's alternator?

Yes, I do have a 90 watt jacket, I think the gloves are 6 or 7 watts each. Thought about a 65 watt jacket but some times the 90 is straining to keep me warm during the morning at this time of year. And with a controller just turn it down when I and the temps warm up.
Yea I have the 90 watt jacket too, but I haven't worn it on the CB yet.
