Default Electrical loads

I am running heated grips (HD) and complete heated gear and the HD Boom amp. My wife gave me some lizard lights for a b-day, and I got to looking at how I might want to set up the lights and got to wondering if that maybe the gerbing stuff should be on the accessory switch. The gerbing stuff pulls about 13.5 amps, and I can't remember but don't think the grips are on if the gloves are but if so the load would increase more.
Anyway my question is should I separate the gerbing gear from the battery and if so is there a way to connect the gerbing leads to the accessory harness, which by the way I have never seen on my bike being that this electrical stuff isn't my best thing.
I do keep the battery on a tender even though I ride 50 miles or so every day to work.

Keep the heat gear on the battery. You could use the accessory plug to fire a relay to turn on and off the heated stuff, but you should have a controller for that anyway.

I have my microwave, fridge, heated gear, Ipod, and GPS hooked up to My 08UC. Not a problem!

Thanks for the ideas,it didn't seem like everything straight to the battery would make any difference, 60 amp battery and with everything running probably drawing about 20-something and charging well when running. I have recently found out there is a remote control fob for the lights and I may just put the lights on the battery as well and run them with the fob.
Thanks again

I have noticd that when I run my microwave, it interferes with the reception of my satellite dish. I still receive an analog signal but my HDTV signal is compromised. When will someone come up with a better way for me to watch tv, cook my frozen burritos, and ride my motorcycle?
