Alternator Output on 2014 Triglide

[hARLEY jOE]

I seem to be having a heck of a time trying to find out what the 2014 Triglides have for alternator output.

Do they have the standard 50 amp system like the '13 and earlier, or do they have the new high output charging system in there?

I keep getting conflicting answers. Does anyone know for sure?

The only model with the high out put charging system is the CVO Ultra Limited, the rest still have the same system as the 13's. FWIW the difference is only about 5 amps or about 60 watts which in the grand scheme of things isn't much.

Especially since all the lighting is LED.:kpzxvq:

Good point, LED lighting sure does save some energy.

Well I can't say for sure but I seriously doubt they would have went to a higher out put charging system especially seeing as the Head and passing lamps are now LED on the 14's which takes a considerable amount of load off the charging system over the standard head and passing lamps. But any Harley service tech or parts person should be able to give you a definite answer.

Every scrap of information I've read says 50 amps.

I've seen it referred to as 49 & 50 amp, take your pick difference is only 12 - 13 watts between the 2 numbers.

The lighting might be LED & draw less current, but the '14's also have an electric water pump, & two cooling fans to operate that weren't there before. Also how much does that big screen informant stereo system draw over the old stereo ?:cxtv:

I guess I wasn't thinking about that stuff. I was just thinking the LED lights draw less. Thanks for posting that info. Definitely something that needs to be figured in to the total equation.
So I'd say the question is not only what the out put is of the charging system on the 14's but also what the actual load is on the system too. I doubt the big screen informant stereo system draws much. That electronic stuff usually don't. But the electric water pump, & two cooling fans could draw quite a bit.

I would like to know that also. How close will I be to maxin out the system. I installed the Ultra Cool oil cooler that has 2 fans, and now I'm gonna add the Werks Fans for the heads.
Hope it's not pulling too much? Has anybody else installed both?

I think you'll be good to go. There are folks who run 2 sets of heated clothing on them, I've not heard any complaints.

I guess I don't understand why would you need those fans if you have a 2014 Tri Glide?

You probably don't I guess?

Mine is a 2012 with a 120R c.i. motor. A little different.
