Anyone run this stuff on their X1? I've had a vest for a couple years and it works fine. I added the gloves and I can run either or, but not both at the same time. I'm not running any other mods in the electrical department (stock lights,turn signals, brake lights).

I didn't do any homework (like figuring out current draw) just wonder if there's any data out there.

It's pretty friggin cold up here, but there isn't any snow yet.

Stock charging system is 22 amp.

13.5 volt X 22amp = 297 watts.

Start subtracting watts of the major items of the electrical system from the 297 watts. Head lamp X watts, Brake/ Tail lamps Y watts, Fuel pump Z watts...etc.

Ball park you have about 100 watts to play with for heated gear. Gerbing's jacket liner is 77 watts, and I think their gloves are 22 watts IIRC.

Of course at idea the charging system is not putting out the max output, so be aware of that.

Matt, I have a voltage meter light on the dash of my Ulysses because of all the gadgets I have on it
heated gear, grips, GPS, sometimes charging the cell phone and that Dang Fan that runs all of the time!
Light is mounted in my dash, its a single bulb that can go from green to red depending on how much drain the electrical system has. K
I run the Gerbings full jacket liner and gloves on the X1 with no problem!

I put a Kuryakyn voltmeter on my S2 (have one on the Uly, too). S2 has LED taillight/tag light, 35w PIAA aux lights, Garmin Quest II GPS, stock turn signals. I have a thermostat for my heated jacket and gloves (Gerbings/HD). I can see the meter blink from 12v to 10v as my jacket cycles on/off at idle; 10v to 8v if I have the aux lights on. Running speed, though, it does just fine. 14v all the way : )

Wow I didn't realize E-gear drew that much. 100 watts seems like a lot, but it does keep my fat arse warm : )

I have the Kuryakan charge meter (it's an arc of lights). I suppose I should get off my butt and get it installed.

I was just bummed it didn't work out of the box. Too cold to be spending time in the garage these days

I will try not turning the glove on till I'm on the highway or at least turning 3500 rpm
