| Hi Gary,
Been a motorcycle rider for almost 50 years now, some of you even more. Having certain options is a good thing when your on the road...like being able to control your bikes accessories and do it safely.
The small waterproof switch on the top of the Voltage and Temp units is for ON/OFF and I placed them there so they would be easy to get too when a rider is moving down the road.
Searching for a small, "hidden" switch at a high rate of speed is not safe...or at any speed for that mater. So that's why I placed them on top and easy for a bike rider to get to.
I think It's a great deal for the Voltage or Temp Meter that you can see at night at only $67.00 each.
As soon as it gets done raining, I'll get more pictures. I was thinking of taking a picture at night so you'll can see how nice this looks. |

| Yeah I was in a hurry this morning when I sent the last post... I was thinking the button on back was the on/off switch and the toggle on top was the c to f. Now I understand better after going back and re reading the post earlier.... thanks for the info. |

Thank's for interest.
The Resevoir covers are not the same...I'm sure. To get the Voltage gauge to work on a BMW, I would need to know what the BMW brake resevoir looked like. Is it rectangular like the Honda's and what the dimensions of the cover and the distance between the center of the covers mounting holes? Is there 2 screws or 4 (1 in each corner)?
It might work...but I would need to use a BMW resevoir cover. |
Right now, the bikes are surrounded by snow piles, but as soon as I can get to them, I'll take a picture of the brake reservoir and measure it.
Thanks, Dennis. |
