i'd like to put in a compass -- oh wait, i no longer care where i'm going.

Maybe a temp gauge so i can tell how much i'm freezing in degrees celsius.

On one mirror?  That would be unbalanced.:blink: Maybe a amp meter in the other.

 

Huh. Now that you mention it, it IS on the side I am always dropping it on.

Found these little compact voltmeters on Ebay for only $7.18 shipped direct from China. They are waterproof, come in different colors, and small enough, it is pretty easy to find a place to mount in your cockpit.

 I had been using the Signal Dynamics LED meter that changes color at different values, but you never could see the exact fluctuations. I credit it to getting me home one day when the original stator quit on my 99 XX at 77K, and I was about 100 miles from home. It went red, I pulled over, pulled the fuse to the headlight and the bike cranked normally when I made it home. All my bikes will soon have these little Chinese meters, even my ZX14, because I don't usually have the display showing volts.

Have not had first had experience, but I'm sure they are waterproof. Some sellers on Ebay show the same meter submerged in a glass of water.
