I saw this come up on the sale page of an electronics supplier that I use, and thought people might be interested if you want a voltmeter for your motorcycle. It's a small digital voltmeter that reads 2.6 to 30 VDC, and they're selling them for $9.00:

Re: Cheap voltmeter
On my last bike (1986 Vulcan 750) I built a little box and installed one of these

Sure is neat to know the moment your stator bit the dust.

Re: Cheap voltmeter
I like the small size of these (31mm X 12mm X 9mm thick), but wonder what kind of enclosure that it would need.WingAdmin wrote:I saw this come up on the sale page of an electronics supplier that I use, and thought people might be interested if you want a voltmeter for your motorcycle.

Re: Cheap voltmeter
Harbor Freight.... I think I paid $7.99 or thereabouts. It reads a bit high but I really don't care about actual voltage...I just want to be able to tell at a glance what the system is doing while i'm riding.

Re: Cheap voltmeter
This one cost me $13.87 Cdn. delivered. Any of you in the states would pay even less than that I'm sure. It's dead accurate when tested against a Simpson meter, 100% waterproof, and snaps right into the opening you cut in the fairing. It's quite small at about 1 1/2" X 1". It's difficult to see in bright sunlight unless you cup your hand around it, which is a minor inconvenience, but it's clear as a bell from late afternoon on.
