MOTORCYCLE VOLTAGE MONITORS

[Sunshyn]

I was surfing to for something like a "Battery Bug" and found these two items. Does anyone know anything about them or have something better to recommend?

If you are on an rt, why not get a voltmeter that replaces one of the inaccurate gauges on the dash?

I would get a volt meter.

I can tell you that the unit from jpcycles.com you listed is not water proof. If they get really wet they fail.

I too would recommend a quality voltmeter gauge.

I appreciate everyone's advice. My ryde is a 2008 GS SE5. I'll see if I can find a volt meter like y'all suggest. Where can I get a cup holder for this '08? I don't see anywhere to mount it unless I remove the CB radio which I could do b/c I don't use it at all. I hate the mic in my helmet that keeps bending back into my face. The helmet is a good one, so can't just dump it. I also have a Zumo gps that I do not use, but might if I ever get more than 40 miles from home, lol

I have some like these on some vintage bikes where electricity can be finicky... Easy to install .... I have some with too many colors and one with only 3 colors and this the one I will buy again. Better than a voltmeter and less clumsy.
