Cool, thanks. I should have looked there first!

Did you mention somewhere where you got the voltmeter?

I like the color-coordinated mounting straps...

Finally got around to installing my voltage meter--hid it behind the left handlebar so I don't have to see it when driving down the road. Peeking over the handlebar reveals the info~

It's connected directly to the battery for now...plan to install a switch later. Used a Dremel tool & utility knife to cut/shape the install hole. I have a video I'll upload later.

I think it is time for me to add a voltmeter! When I re-started the bike on Saturday (while warm) the starter hesitated ever so slightly, and the clock re-set. I'm thinking this is more likely an ageing battery problem rather than the R/R, as all the cables and connectors look perfect.

I'm thinking of mounting my voltmeter right on the steering nut, and running the cables up through the stem from below. I have run a fused power supply direct from the battery through a relay triggered off the headlight circuit. I'll use a piece of rubber hose as a conduit so the wires don't get attacked by the steering action.
