Will the stock electrical system handle this system? From what I read it is a
140 watt system. Will the stock alternator handle this? Any other
suggestions?
The stock roadster alternator is 35 amps and just barely handles a stock
roadster. On mine everything is fine when I drive it in good weather. When I
was
driving it to work in the winter with the heater and lights on every day
coming and going the battery slowly goes flat. I would suggest one of the one
wire upgrades, at least 65 amps. This can be done with the stock wiring and
amp
gauge but you're asking for trouble. Upgrade the charging system wiring and
go with a volt meter or at least put a fuse in line with the amp gauge. The
stock amp gauge makes an expensive fuse.
