My arthritic hands need electric heat and I'll be selling my FZ-6 this fall for one reason.... the alternator doesn't deliver the amps to keep my old arthritic body comfortable in cooler driving conditions. I went out today (about 53 degrees) and needed both the heated grips and the gloves. Yes, I am a wimp but it's not my personal choice. It's the cards I've been dealt and I refuse to sit at home when I can work a solution... in this case my FZ6 disappoints. But it's the only one!

Moldmaker, Thanks for doing the research and posting the data. Some useful data for all of us.
Snap, hate to see you go to a different bike. Are there any other reasonable alternatives? How difficult is adding a stonger alternator and/or deeper battery? I guess every bike has its compromises. We hope you'll at least stick around the forum if you find a replacement.
