The normal output is 14Volts/365 Watts at 5000rpm's

Keep in mind that I own a GenI so I'm not sure about a GenII alternator.

We have a great charging system on the FZ1. Norm runs heated gear and accessories on his without any troubles. I think you're safe. :tup:

Little test I did last summer in this thread running heated gloves, chaps and jacket liner.
Bike off tender for eight hours: 12.96 V
Bike at idle: 14.20 V
Bike at 5K: 14.20 V
I then wired all the heated gear together: jacket liner, gloves and chaps.
Bike at idle gear set to high: 13.79 V
med: 13.80 V
low: 13.83 V
Bike at 5K gear set to high: 13.79
med: 13.91
low: 13.99
So, even at idle with all the gear set to the highest setting the bike is dropping less than 1/2 Volt across the terminals and is should still be charging the battery.

Yea, as Eric said, I've run a heated Gerbing jacket and gloves as well as a gps with no problems. You're good to go.

Do you mean a cigarette lighter socket? If so, yes... many of the members here have done this.

And here are some pics of the same outlet installed on a Gen II bike. The idea is the same...

Ha I didn't even realize this thread existed! I installed that exact same lighter output on my bike a couple weeks ago. I used the plate that came with it though as well as the socket.
