Well I have been using some heated gear, and wanted to add a coupe of power outlets on the bars to charge phone/gps as well. This is the message I received from the powerlets company......
"There are different types of outlet kits to mount in a lower or rearward
position for plugging in heated gear. However, I'm not sure you are aware
but the 2013 CB1100 does not have a very powerful stator, so it does not
have much excess electical power. The stator output is around 330 watts so
that really only gives you about 50-60 watts to use. The bike will be able
to handle charging a phone, and it may be able to handle one of our heated
jackets on half power 'or' heated gloves, but it will not be able to handle
them all at the same time. Any combination of two of these components will
go past the limit of excess power the bike has. The CB1100 will definitely
not be able to handle most standard heated gear like Gerbings or Firstgear,
which uses anywhere from 75-100 watts of power for their jackets and vests
alone."
So this brings me to ask, what is the power out put of of bikes that is usable? I am worried now that I received this message as I am running , jacket liner, pant liner, gloves, and socks. I would hate to end up stranded due to a dead battery from using all its juice.
