Honda makes it's own heated suit? I've had a lot of Honda's and never knew that.

The alternator is fine to handle my entire Gerbing outfit on the EGC I have. I use the accessory plug but put in a 15 amp fuse instead of the 5 that's inline.

Seriously, Honda seemed incapable of making a T-shirt, never mind heated clothing. HD's clothing is made by Gerbing.

Ampacity! Ampacity!

How many amps does the suit draw?
What is the load of the suit?
How much current does the suit draw?

But ampacity - come on [:-]

Whine - more like jab.

Yes I do - the correct use of electrical terms.

Actually, ah wuz thinkin' of the circuit rather than the load....ampacity would be the ability of the circuit to serve a given load - shoulda asked either the wattage rating of the suit, or (if it has one), the factory fuse rating. The tough part is gonna be knowin' what the Wing suit pulls....
