I would not recommend the Kuryakyn LED. Mine stopped working after getting wet which I found happened to others. I mounted above the speedometer dead center because the LEDs are bright and I could use the overhanging shelf to block the light if needed. |

| Ive been through two of those things on various machines, not very reliable IMHO. I then went to an LED device intended for micro-lights which seemed to fare better but I don't think that it was totally happy with my VRR system so I have nothing fitted to the SWing. |

| The Kisan meter is expensive but it has a few nice extra features too. Kisan charging and monitoring system In particular it tells you digitally both volts and amps, and integrates with their battery tender system.

| Thanks Dan but these are two expensive for my taste. Last year i bought there there Vectra Light for $ 80.00 and it lasted about 8 months. I am getting another one for Christmas but only because some one else is paying for it. I really like the way it lights up my reflective jacket when the turn light is on or the break light.I know people really see me coming or going |

| I bought and installed one of these many moons ago. For $25 it has been well worth the money. It is only weather resistant but has never failed even in the many downpours I have ridden through. Works well and wired off of switched power. I have a good amount of extras wired in and this makes voltage monitoring very easy. I wanted to monitor not only voltage but air temperature. It also has a built in alarm that sounds when air temp dips below freezing. I do not use the clock or timer side. Left side is clock/timer ----- Middle: voltage ----- Right: temperature ![Kuryakyn LED Battery Gauges IMG_1199](https://2img.net/h/i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq353/masscoot/IMG_1199.jpg) |

| I got through two of the Kuryakin gauges on previous bikes, as other folk have said they are not very reliable. I also had a microlight voltage indicator for a while ( a small LED device which changed from green thro' orange to red according to voltage) but I suspect that it was never totally happy with the Honda charging system. At the moment I have nothing at all and the Scoot seems to run OK without ! |

Since my Kuryakyn failed, I took it apart. It had very little ( almost none ) sealant... what ever sealent was left crumbled. The mother board was covered with a crystalline substance ... I am guessing from the water. I switched to the ADVMonster digital volt meter which is water proof. |

| I to have 2 Kuryakyn LED volt gauges on my Helix and one did go bad . When I opened it up to see in side I found that water had got in side of it. When I got my silverwing I installed a volt and air temp gauge just like masscoot . You can see a picture of this gauge on his post in this thread . I have insalled two of them and each of them have gone bad do to water getting in side of the gauges . Over this winter I will try some other brand of gauges to replace the air temp and volt gauges that I hope are water proof . |

| Wow, I guess Bob and I have been pretty lucky with our Kuryakyn meters. We have been in some pretty torrential rain. The company should look into there quality control if they haven't already. I probably just jinx us. |
