TNRabbit Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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. pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Terry Posted August 25, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted August 25, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
