Amps is what you use to determine accessory load. Check your stock specs for amperage output and make sure you don’t exceed it by adding up the total amps drawn by all of your wanted accessories put together.
LED’s have a very low load rating and can be put on pretty much without being concerned about overworking thebikeselectrical system.

My advice is call dealer find out your chargeing amps. Use battery amps to help decide how much you can add, but allow – 20 % to be on safe side.

I’m sure you are talking about a cruiser, so to start off with most cruisers have about a 300 amp battery, and a charging system to keep up with it, don’t worry too much about watts, I’ve seen Harleys lit up like a christmas tree, and GPS. and stereo, and CB radio. cigarette lighter. Driving lights all with standard electrical system.
