This whole week has been nothing but rain. I ordered a voltage amperage gauge from Amazon.com and installed it. Haven't gotten a chance to check it out on the road but testing it, it seems to work. The installation required once again opening up the faring but I wired it to the ignition and used an electrical outlet faceplate that fit over the opening for the CB after I removed the door. Good part is I only had to drill one small hole in the faring so if I want to ever go back stock it will be unnoticeable.

Re: Volt Amp Meter
I had two motorcycles die on me, in town, fortunately, due to failed batteries. I installed Voltmeters on every bike since the second one left me sit...
They are fantastic warning tools. Last year, we were riding 100 miles from home, when I saw the Voltmeter reading low, when we went to start it after a meal stop. Found a Kawi dealer nearby, swapped the battery to make it home safely. Won't ride without a Voltmeter again. Enjoy the peace of mind it will provide you. Cheers!

Re: Volt Amp Meter
My only issue with this one is that while riding in the sun you cant read them. However if you stop and check you can read it. I keep the bike on a tender when not riding and I have a GM Odyssey battery. The tender should extend the life of the battery but at least it will warn me if I have an alternator failure.
