What can the bike charging system handle?
Yes, theoretically the wiring can take a 100W H7 in the main and dip in the standard setup (but not if wired together so they're both on at the same time).

TBH - running 100W in the headlight and 2x 55W spots is going to be too much for the alternator to keep up with, that's 15A (@~14V).

Have a read of this thread, it explains pretty much all you need to know about the XTZ's charging capacity.
