I have a 2013 RT Limited with the recall done. I would like to put more lights on it but I am concerned on what I can and cannot do. Since my has a 600W Alternator what can it handle compared to the 2014s and up with the 1200W Alternator.
Modern LED lights add so little draw that electrical output is of no concern. The real issue is the Spyder's CAN bus electrical network, which can be fussy about added electrical accessories. Make sure to use quality lights installed by someone who understands the issues and all should be good. I had mine installed by SpyderLyter Fred at Daytona, and have had no issues.
We have also installed tons of LEDs with no issues.

I too have my spydy lit up (some say like a flying saucer) & NORAD will track me as I ride.
I have #163 ft of LED lights on my Spydy & #22 ft of LEDS on my RT622 trailer.......
love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
redneck diva- I would love to have that many lights on our ryde as well, but our Spyder is white and there's too much contrast in the daylight if they're not lit. (I know...light 'em up) Yours looks GREAT!!!
