LED Voltmeter

[mercianbike]

I am posting this info for those who may be interested.

When I first bought my Yamaha a few years ago, I heard stories of riders stopping for a break out in the boondocks and then not being able to start up again because the battery was dead. So I searched around and found what I think is I think is a really neat, little, and inexpensive device to hopefully eliminate this problem: a Kuryakyn LED voltmeter (Part #4219).



This is now on my Nomad. When the green lights are showing, you're good. When one or more are not showing, you are draining your battery. There is a sensor on the meter that brightens the LEDs in the daytime and dims them at night so they do not distract you. Installation is simple; one wire hooks onto any hot wire and the other to any ground. I fed mine into the headlight bucket. It has an adhesive back that sticks just about anywhere and even if it came loose, it's not going to go anywhere because it's still hooked to the wires. I bought mine at Eastern Performance for $32.95 with free shipping.

This seems like a cheap investment to avoid a big problem.
