Anyone have a inverter hooked up in their tour pack? If so, what did you use? Im thinkin mainly for a laptop, coffee pot.
Don't think the tour pack auxiliary power port p/n 91671-10 is up to the job.

It would take a big converter with a very stout cord to run a coffee pot.
Even a 4 cup is 625 watts (52 amps)
They make convertes that big, but your alternator is what, 400 watts?
Laptop, anyone you buy will work.
Coffee? Better bring a backpack stove.

 

Yeah after doing a little reading, i see the coffee maker isnt going to happen

 

i had a freightliner truck,the inverter ran a microwave,fridge/freezer,laptop,and cellphone..fridge would kill the 7 batterys in 3-4 hours thou.would run it all day then turn it off to sleep..just leaving the inverter on would kill the batts in 3-4 days sitting..the rear atep bumper was rusted,between loads, i stripped it in a walmart parking lot with an angle grinder running off the inverter..then painted it in a TA truckstop in guolph ont. the next day..they wanted me to waste a day off at home to do it..

 

sorry to get off topic.. truck stops sell 12volt coffee pots,crock pots, ovens,coolers, just about anything you can thing of

 

52 amps, are you serious? Come on, it's going to pull 5-6 amps max. The biggest breaker in your fuse box at home (besides the AC) is most likely 20 amps, so how do you use your 52 amp coffee pot at home? A coffee pot pulling 52 amps would be using close to 6000 watts.

I'm not saying to use an inverter on your bike, but it is possible to run one, and the coffee pot would not be out of the question.

 

I am serious. 625 watts is only 6 amps at 120 volts, but 52 amps at 12 volts.
Amps = watts/volts

 

First off, it will be running on 115v, that's what the converter is for, second, if it was a DC pot, it still would require no where close to that much power, since DC is a constant supply.

Not to go into and give an engineering speech on an HD forum, but it just doesn't work that way.

 

The inverter is pulling all of the power.It takes a lot of amperage to convert 12vlts to 110-120.
An inverter with no load will suck you battery dry(motor not running) in a very short amount of time.

 

Found this on the net, not for my bike but..... 29999-97B ALTERNATOR UPGRADE KIT, 45 AMP/ROTOR at Surdyke
Im also just kickin this around, thinkin out loud.
The inverter would only be used when the bike is running.
