Open to further advice on it tho...that said, not planning on doing it again.
Well 7amps aint much at all! its diddley squat! presuming your amp meter is correct, and im guessing it wont be out by much at all.

Your headlights draw 10amps on high beam.

Do a bit of testing under the highest load you can, even between two cars, your meter will probably only read to 10 amps, so if it goes over use fuses.

Reason i draw caution is i know i would be gutted if i fried my bike and sure you would be too.......:sick: ]]> offrd https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/2306-Winch-project
