LED Battery Gauge by Kuryakyn

[jonr]

Pat,

I'm still using mine and it still works the same as the day I bought it. Strangely enough, I see these gauges in catalogs all over the place from retailers who usually do not sell instruments. That suggests to me that it must sell pretty well.

So, I'm still please with mine and the dimmer still seems to know when to dim and when to brighten.

Best,
Jon

I still think the best voltage monitor at a reasonable price that I have found is the Digital 5-Function Volt Meter. It sells for $21.48 plus low USPS postage.

+1 on that. I have one on my KLR and love it. It isn't waterproof either, but I have it tucked under the windshield/faring well enough. The wires are a bit thin and challenging to work with, but that is nothing that a soldering iron and some better wire wouldn't fix. I'll likely get it or something like this for the V-Strom:

or a very simple and functional alternative:

That is the second time that dualSport one has shown up on my radar I like it but I would like another LED to show me if voltage is too High.

Thanks

Mine came defective (didn't install it until it was already out of warranty) ... the backlights never worked and still don't. However, other than that little irritation (can't use it at night because I can't see it) it continues to function just fine...

Ok Scanned the thread and looks like a nice (for the price) device. The remote temperature guage has me thinking. Does anybody know what the upper temperature range is? Duanage said it was too hot for the engine, but I'm thinking of possibly putting it on the return line of the oil cooler which might be closer to 220 deg max (if the cooler is working).

I'm leaning twards it not going that high. I think its limits are more in the ambient temp range.
