Those voltmeters work really well. A bit hard to see in direct sun light tho.

I installed one in the dash of my CB500X.

Fantastic idea! You inspired me to snatch one up off of EBay that has 2 USB ports for charging devices on the go. Under $12 shipped, how can you beat it?

I just bought one.:tup:

I was looking at something similar except it has 2 USB ports. I was trying to figure on how to mount it. Now I know how. :tup: https://www.amazon.com/LiDiVi-Waterp...f_rd_i=desktop

Installed +12V external socket. No more problems with charging the tablet, the smartphone, etc. on the go (with adapter). One may connect a small compressor if a flat tire somewhere on the side of the road. No need to remove side cover to charge the battery periodically during long winter shutdown.

Purchased here for $1.50 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Waterproof-1...kAAOSwSdZWglPQ

Where are ya'll picking up power for the voltage meters? If I add much more, I'll need to add an aux power block.

I would wire the volt meter into one of the many "Key/Ignition ON" sources... grab a volt meter and find what you need :shrug:

Which shifter boot did you order and how long did it take to get it?

pcspecialist 03-30-2017 06:17 PM

Suggestion for your seat; do as I did but add padding between the Coleman Comfort Ride and your seat.

It took about three weeks, don't remember exactly.

I like your idea, but I am planning totally reconstruct the seat with adding and reshaping foam padding inside. I have already purchased nice marine vinyl cover from Hobby Lobby.

Did you ever get around to doing it?
