Questions for you guys that are wiser with electrical systems than me. I'm buying heated gloves and jacket with dual controler ( powerlet or firstgear ).....with the MTS 1200should I hook up a power plug straight to the battery terminals ( as I did with my ST2 ), or use the plugs on the bike already, and can the bikes plugs handle the draw of jacket & gloves together on the canbus system? I guess I was a little disapointed to find out the MTS only has a 500watt alternator, I thought a touring bike should have more. But I did find the info that it is a light weight "high frequency" alternator that charges better at idle to low rpm's, and tapers off at higher rpm's. I'm guessing it can handle my gear, but what about adding heated gear for the wife? Or is she left out in the cold so to speak?
