OMG Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it, it IS on the side I am always dropping it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are waterproof, come in different colors, and small enough, it is pretty easy to find a place to mount in your cockpit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171764710007?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=470716404364&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 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. Interesting meter,and clean install. Please let us know how weatherproof it actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC Randy Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
