    Question Add Additional Hotwire Jacket Heat Controller

    I have been using the Hotwire Jacket and gloves for years on the 2007 Kawasaki 900 I traded in on my 2017 Spyder RT SE6. From those of you far more familiar with the electrics in these Spyders, will the system handle an additional heated jacket controller & wiring? I never took any passengers on my other bikes, but with the Spyder I can now take my lady friend with me. Weather & conditions permitting, I ride all year round up here in CT. I just want to keep her comfortable while we are traveling in much cooler/colder conditions. Thank you for any input. I definitely don't want to take a chance on overloading the system.

    Yes even more so then my 2012 RTL because you have a larger alternator to draw from. Wire both controllers directly to the battery.I use the warm and safe Bluetooth controllers.

    I wired right from the + on the back of the alternator vs from the Batt up front.

    I have my RT wired for two and no issues. Ran mine directly from the battery with a fuse in each circuit.

    There is a sedici splitter available,shouldn't need dual hookups?I also use the tender plug adapter versus direct wiring.Original plugs are on sleds.
