adding extra lights for visibility... is 90w too much for the battery?

also, do you know what size are the bolts that hold the front fender over the tire? thinking to print a bracket in PETG to hold the lights using both bolts.

thank you

 

Are you talking 90 watts for both or for one?
 
90w each is a crazy claim. I'd love to see what they really are.
The helarious 9000 lumens is hilariously bad. At most it's probably going to be about 2000 lumens at 10 feet.
AuxBeam is one of those crap product companies that boast claims out of the wild.
Look at ttc on YouTube. They did a lot of headlights and flashlight tests.
 
Just to be seen, as marker lights, and less bulky these need to be pointed down a little, as they are super bright...

Lights from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083FJTYRV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Fork brackets were custom ordered from ClearWatter (~$30). Headed out on a 7 - 10 day ride through the Shenandoah Valley to D.C. and beyond and looking for a little more "recognition" out there.

I would say that they are close to the original headlights in power draw so you can take it from there
Just my opinion the battery would not be a problem but if you were having problems it might become the straw that broke the camels back
You should get more opinions.
 

3 Amps is a quit a lot for this battery, which is already small for our bikes, its like almost at the edge. the battery should have been bigger on this bike, this battery since is not big enough, starts degrading within 3 years while Lead acid battery last for years.


on top of that, you cant connect these lights to your stock headlight wiring, good luck with that

Because of computer controlling and monitoring electrical stuff on new vehicles

people have failed to add additional real brake light
people have also failed to install sequential strip led blinker
companies have failed to release device for pausing odometer reading (they already have a product already for old rocket 3 )

hopefully someday, there will be someone who will open the ECU CANBUS on this bike and we will enjoy whole new set of mods.

currently, Best we can do is to replace stock bulbs/led on this rocket with aftermarket LED with exact same specifications. like Wunderkind blinkers, etc.

Being that the older bikes draws about 150 amps when the starter cranks don't know about new one with compression release .
I am thinking that 3 more amps running would not be a problem provided that it did not go through the ignition switch and was relayed with fuse to battery.
