Default I want to put two foglights on my 1998 Honda CBR 600 ?
But I am hesitant because I do not know if my motorcycle's charging system is sufficient enough to handle the extra 70 watt(total of the two) load. Can the motorcycle handle it?

you may need to upgrade your alternator...

test it first... a multimeter will tell you the whole story...

if voltage drops consistently at idle with the 70 watt load, you need an upgrade...

if it stabilizes at idle, you're fine...

that is too much load for battery size in cbr 600.
