K it might be able to handle it? however make sure to put in a fuse if bike acts up you'll have to do a simple mod. which could include a small batt........ Dennis

new lights shorter GND. less amperage draw. whole frame is GND. least amount of wire needed the better the supply with the least amount of strain on stator
