Installing a KuryAkyn Battery Meter

[Freebird]

Thanks to Cougar for the excellent write-up UPDATE How much Power? / Amps?

Well As some of you know that I have been
Adding all kinds of Goodies to my RSV this past
couple months.

I added the modulite.

I added the 240 watt Amp.

I added the New Speakers.

I added the new LED lights
all over the place.. trailer , bike ect.

I added the Sirius Satellite Radio.

I added the GPS Unit.

Now with all that said, some of you and even myself
wondered how the heck the Charging system would do?

Well I got the kuryakyn battery meter today
http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp?bn=metric&ci=2695 (http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp?bn=metric&ci=2695)
and hooked that bad boy up..

Then I started the bike up and turned ALL of this stuff ON!
And holding the brakes on / radio full power (30)
Even the HIGH BEAMS...

these were the results with engine in the Idle mode

Then I Brought up the RPM's to about 5k or so..
then this is what It was reading

I shut the engine off and left all the stuff on for
about 15 Min's and this is what it showed.

Anyways! I feel better now knowing that my Electrical System
Is able to handle all this kewl stuff I added without to much worry.

Just thought I would share this Info with ya folks!

(oh, that is with the trailer attached to the bike as well)
(the meter also go's into dim mode at night)
