GL1500 Alternator Light

[stovall]

I have been looking for a way to put an alternator "idiot light" on my wings, but until last night came up empty-handed. My issue is that i have only a basic understanding of electronics & am afraid to try & build a "circuit." Last night I ran across a website that solves this issue...it is an "all in one" solution. The website is: http://www.sparkbright.co.uk & I was curious if anyone else has tries this solution yet. There are 2 models to choose from & I am looking at purchasing the Eclipse model. It looks like it would solve the problem that GL1500 owners have dealt with for a long time!!! Any thoughts?

Have a look at this topic - the one from VP Accessories that the review is about is no longer available unfortunately, but there are some other alternatives posted by other members farther down in the topic: viewtopic.php?t=32282

I must have gotten the last alternator warning light from VP back in January.
It paid for itself a week ago when the alternator failed.
That bright red light came on and I knew immediately that I was
running on borrowed time before the battery ran low.
That light saved my bacon.

Just venting here....
Why the heck did Honda NOT put a alternator warning light on those bikes.
Honda left that blank spot at the right side of the panel with nothing in it and it certainly LOOKS like they had a warning light in mind. If I could buy the whole kit for $15, produced in bulk at the factory, I doubt it would have cost Honda $5 to add that light. On a bike as expensive and "high end" as a Goldwing, that is inexcusable.
