Voltmeter
Kiwi_Roy:
When I first bought my V7III it had a bad alternator winding which was unable to keep the battery charged. It was replaced under warranty
Now I have a cheap round 2 wire Voltmeter on my Guzzi
Its always on when the key is on, wired to the headlight bucket across the Park Light where there is only a tiny load.
Takes away the worry of, "Is the charging system working?"
I like the Blue LED model, I think it shows up better than the other colours.

I have it mounted on a 18 gauge aluminium bracket that is pinched between the bar clamps
Usually when I turn on the bike it reads ~12.5 Volts and drops down to ~ 10 while cranking then pops up to over 12. I sometimes see 14 Volts riding at speed.
I highly recommend having a Voltmeter, takes away the worry
I drilled the large hole for mounting using a step drill.

Might I suggest you make a group purchase to reduce the cost of shipping.

You can strip all that tracking garb from the URL, from the question mark onwards. :wink:
I also prefer blue but use the much smaller oblong ones and attach direct to battery, so as to be able to monitor levels during Winter layoffs.

This appears to be the same thing but available in the US from Amazon.

Yes but more than twice the price $14 against $6
