Until I bought the 'VH' this year I'd forgotten just how underpowered old British bike electrical systems were .

My 2004 BMW R1150 GS Adventure has a 720 Watt 12V alternator - that's 60 Amps .

You're a lucky guy Steve .

My Zumo 660 is great, I'd hate to lose it (but I have a very expensive Touratech locking mount, wired to a Starcom Digital comms unit).

Its good to see that some people care enough to track an owner down .
