    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Voltage monitor

I have had my fair share of unveiling the mysteries of GS-electrics. I haven't disconnected the warning bulb on the instrument panel yet, but that red battery light keeps annoying me when I ride, especially at night. Although I've had no trouble from the RR/stator after doing "right thing" some three years ago, I still have a slight paranoia when touring. The ordinary voltmeter I installed is too wobbly to provide any comfort, so I 'm concidering getting something more sophisticated..

Does anybody have any experience with the "Heads-up" voltage monitor from signaldynamics? I was thinking I could try to replace the red plastic covering the battery warning signal with a piece of transparent plastic, and then mount the LED coming with the Signaldynamics unit there instead. Would that be possible?
 
Re: Voltage monitor

I dont see any problem with using a LED voltmeter/guage. The current draw on an LED meter will probably be about 1/50th of an amp, so I dont think it would make any difference if you wired the guage directly to battery and it was always on.

What about the Negative. Where do you wire that?
To the battery or to the frame?

Just ground to the frame in a clean location. The frame IS the common for all the electrics so you will get an accurate reading.
Cheers.
