Default Alternator output for a bagger????

Does anybody know what the output current is on an '06 RG? I am thinking about adding some more lights but I don't want to cause my alternator to fry just so I can get my lights.

I am currently running 55 W Motolights along with the LED Spoiler light kit on the saddle bags and the tour pack. And of course a 45 watt amp for my Hogtunes Ultra Sound Kit. So I would like to know what the current output of the alternator is.

DO they make a high output alternator or is there only one for a bagger?

Your bike is equipped with a 50 amp 3 phase alternator.....

Not sure if anyone is making a stronger on or not....

But 50 amps is pretty powerful....
