Gadget: Voltmeter

[marvypower]

juz went to find out..

currently there are quite a number of designs of voltmeter faces..(analogue ones...)(meaning those with a needle one lah..)

range from $28 bucks to $45

$28--- one colour (orange)

$38--- 7 colours (7 colours lah!!)

$45--- nicer looking face but one colour only.. (white I think)

all DIY

(pm me and I'll tell u where to look for them... )

for ur reference b4 going to install them...

 

and when install, ask ur mech to try not to let the voltmeter face upwards... (if possible... )

Hi marvypower,

Hi marvypower,

this is to prevent rain water from residing on the screen which will seep into the internal ocomponents of the voltmeter...

 

its difficult not to let it face up, but try to make it more horizontal will be better...

[marvypower]

if i wan to install a voltmeter, will i require a bracket to mount the meter? den where do i get the bracket from ?

 

the bracket comes with the voltmeter...

but may require alittle drilling...

cos the bracket is juz a piece of metal which u should screw the back of ur voltmeter on..

[marvypower]

hello marvypower.. do u hv any pic to be view ?

hmmm u wan ah...

wanna take a look at how its fixed first then decide anot?

in case u see liao dun look nice...

anyway, its without the cover.. I ownself make one...

 

needa know wat bike u riding first lah...

think not very good to fix all these gadgets on a 2B bike cos the battery isn't as power as a class 2A or class 2 one.. (not discriminating hor..)

(my S4 giving 8A whereas a SP only give 3A)

 

cos I fixed a real cigarette lighter by the side of my sai tao then connect this charger from it...

hard to explain lah... show u better...

the whole thing + the switch cost me
