alternator output

[coszam]

I'm looking to add a few accessories including a heated jacket and gloves,
by chance does anyone know what the alternator output(watts) is for the 2009 Softail Deluxe ?

No problem , you have the three faze alternator. It will handle it.

I know it probably will, but i'm also adding other accessories, like speakers and lights and a few other things other than the heated jacket and gloves, any chance you know what the output is ?

Actual power consumption has to be calculated or measured. There are some "AC-DC clamp on current meters that are available, but honestly don't know how you would read it while riding.

You would need an board datalogger like many of the factory racing mechanics use, when campaigning a racing. These days they are so sophisticated that can calculate RPM at every stage of a race track, so fuel mileage and lap times can be reduced to the absolute minimum, extracted from the telemetry picked up in the pits.
