I plan on mounting a set of these LED turn signals onto my bike. Either on the sides of my saddle bag or my trunk, I have not decided which yet. They are used on the side of the cabs of Volvo transport trucks as as additional signals. Which means you can go into any Volvo truck dealer to get them. The grey plastic part can be painted to match the color of the bike.

Meguiar's plastx, it did a great job on my windshield when a 2x4 bounced off it. you can't even tell it was ever hit. You can get it at Canadian Tire

When I copy and paste a picture it always shows up great at the time, but the next day all you see is a big red x :think: :think: :think: :think:

I think it would be DANGEROUS. . . An invitatation to watch the guage instead of the road. . .Probably why they quit putting it in the cars. . . .And besides now we have CELL PHONES to kill people.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

They were gauges installed at the factory in some cars and were called motor minders. The main purpose at the time was for a driver to be able to conserve fuel by watching the gauge, and keeping the needle in the green zone during acceleration. This would be between 10 and 17 inches of vacume. If you stepped to hard on the gas pedal the guage would drop below 10 inches, indicating that you were using too much gas. It did however have an added benifit for those with mechanical know how. A person who understood engines could tell what was wrong with an engine based on wether the needle held steady or fluctuated, was abnormally low or high. You would be able to pick out things such as leaking or sticking valves, incorrect ignition timing, intake or vacume leaks and even a restricted exhaust etc..

On that model there are 2 pos cable's to the battery connected one on top of the other. After a while the cables develop a bad connection between them. Every one tends to clean the cables but never fully separate the two positve cables. Secondly groves tend to wear where the raised tabs from the one cable wear holes into the other cable. Remove the cables, separate them and clean all surfaces. When you put them back together slip a stainless steel washer between the terminals to get a tighter connection. I have seen maney alternators and starters, replaced unnessarily because of this simple little issue
