Cougar Posted February 15, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 15, 2012 Hey gang, so those of you that have the Argus Battery Bug, where have you mounted it? Pictures please, I already have a Kuryakyn LED mounted and it works great, 4 years running and no problems, but going one step father, been hearing pretty good reviews about them. Also, how have you been liking yours? Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted February 15, 2012 Share #2 Posted February 15, 2012 I don't have the Bug but I like the unit. I went simple on mine but it is a problem to mount on the 2nd gens. http://www.bikemeters.com/cgi-bin/webshop.cgi?config=ent-datel But if I had my druthers, and more expendable cash I'd like to have this unit. Nice feature with the amp info. https://kisantech.com/index.php?cat_id=5&catname=chargeGuard Just throwing stuff out there. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twigg Posted February 15, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 15, 2012 Jeez! Kisan are pretty proud of that! Radio Shack has a unit that displays digital clock, in and out temps and voltmeter for about $12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinto Posted February 15, 2012 Share #5 Posted February 15, 2012 I mounted mine on the brake reservoir using velcro so when I want to check the brake fluid level I simply put the bug off to check then stick it back on. I ran the wire down the handlebar with the other wires back to the battery and have had no problems with it. I definitely would give the Battery Bug a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithR Posted February 15, 2012 Share #6 Posted February 15, 2012 I mounted mine to the rear fender in by the right grab handle. Easy to see when I want to check before going for a ride. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share #8 Posted February 22, 2012 Well I think I found my SweetSpot Not sure to leave it black or paint in in MM Color Black looks OK tho. Used a Little aluminum flat stock , one screw, and a little bit of Goop. Run wires into fairing back out under tank to Battery. [ATTACH]64414[/ATTACH] Tapped into the rubber on the bars. so now there is a small back plate. [ATTACH]64416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64417[/ATTACH] Now there is 3 types of units to show how the batter is doing LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingy Posted February 22, 2012 Share #10 Posted February 22, 2012 Ok, my wheels are turning on something I saw in Kisan sight. There was a link to installing meter in side mirror. I don't want a meter there though. Anybody got an idea how to get a mirror glass out of a 1st gen (intact) and be able to put it back in.

I am thinking LED's mounted to form a turn signal arrow. I could also disable them at night if they were to bright, with a low cost photovoltaic unit. Something like what is in my head light modulator. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted February 23, 2012 Share #22 Posted February 23, 2012 I hear ya. My last dishwasher and I parted company years ago. Had to go out and buy one of those electric ones myself. I get along with this one MUCH better. And people wonder why I'm still single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
