Default how reduce current draw ??

I thought of another question... are there any easy ways to reduce the current draw ????. it's easy to not turn on some options (heated seats, radio, extra headlamps, etc). Wondering if the LED headlamp would help. ?? maybe any other ideas.
..... Mike

headlamps (aside from the actual starting of the bike) draw more current than anything stock on your bike so yes LED headlamps reduce that significantly, by at least 50%

Default LED headlamps to reduce current draw

I found the LED lamps from Truck-Lite, below
It looks like this kit would reduce my amperage much.
(if using low beam and passing, from 8.9amps to 2.9amps
wow, i'll macke sure these fit my bike, and this will help alot)

Low beam current draw 1.5 amps (stock halogen is 4.9 amps)
High beam current draw 2.3 amps (stock halogen is 5.5 amps)
Passing lamps (pr) current draw 1.4 amps (stock halogen (pr) 4.0 amps

http://www.discountfleetsupply.com/tlc27270c-3set.html
Qty (1) Truck-Lite 27270C
Qty (2) Truck-Lite 80275

heck, this is a 6amp reduction and better lighting for ~$350
I hope i'm looking at this correctly
