sleadhed Posted February 5, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2010 Back off voltage moniter. It uses a single led indacator http://cyclegadgets.com/Products/product.asp?Item=BOVOLT Im looking at this one and the Kuryakyn voltmeter. PROS: Back off is a single LED very little space needed. Kyurakyn Shows accurate system voltage. CONS: Back off only gives you a general voltage range. Kyurakyn is a larger mount and adds clutter. Just wondering what you all would prefer? I want to have my cake and eat it too. No clutter and accurate volt readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreezyRider Posted February 5, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 5, 2010 I like this one: http://cyclemaxohio.com/inc/sdetail/4231 Inexpensive, accurate, very readable, waterproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riderduke Posted February 5, 2010 Share #3 Posted February 5, 2010 I like this one: http://cyclemaxohio.com/inc/sdetail/4231 Inexpensive, accurate, very readable, waterproof. How would something like that be mounted to the bike http://pj.b5z.net/i/u/2099405/i//1800and1500_Mini_LED_DigitalVoltmeter_45-1405.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted February 6, 2010 Share #4 Posted February 6, 2010 It needs to be mounted to a flat surface. You have to cut a rectangular hole that matches the dimensions of the back side. If you look close at the pic you will see that there is a thin flange around the front. So your hole must be big enough for the meter to fit into but smaller than the flange. You just drop it in your nice new hole and then slide that clip on from behind to secure it. Connect the 2 wires and you are done. I would seal it up with some electrical grade RTV for when you get caught in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithR Posted February 6, 2010 Share #6 Posted February 6, 2010 I have one of these......I haven't mounted it yet but will end up putting it in the trunk or in a saddle bag just for an occasional check. I'm more interested in the battery health.

OutKast Posted February 6, 2010 Share #7 Posted February 6, 2010 Stud Muffin Riderduke- I believe you can also get a mounting bezel for the little digital volt meter that makes installation easier and cleaner. Don't you already have the voltmeter/air temp/clock stick thingy on your bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted February 14, 2010 Share #9 Posted February 14, 2010 I have the Kury one on my Vstar mounted to the master cylinder and will probable put on on the venture,(once I get it running right). Doesn't take up any space there and looks kewl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted February 14, 2010 Share #10 Posted February 14, 2010 The digital mounts up nice with the bezel, the rubber gasket and as said......a flat spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlh3rd Posted February 14, 2010 Share #11 Posted February 14, 2010 i wonder how the digital one would look mounted in the center of the faceplate with two other round gauges on each side on the gauge conversion for the gen 2..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
