Ordered a Battery Bug for the Wing. Looks like it just connects to the battery, so even I can do that, but I was wondering if anyone has one on their bike and where did you mount it. It's the digital mode with backlight.. 
If it's just between you and me, well...............yes.Am I the only one who has one of these??????![]()
Your point is well taken and if I could find a decent place to mount it up front, I would. But there just doesn't seem to be a good mounting place for it if you want a neat or professional looking installation. Of course I'm open to suggestions.I don't think you would want it hidden. The whole point is to monitor the battery/alternator.
I just received mine and no where in the packaging does it state that its water proof. Now with that being said,, it has to be water proof if it's intended to be mounted any where on the bike where you can see it.Is this puppy waterproof ?
LOL,,,. I'm glad I'm not alone feeling that way!i don't think thats stupid rmrc. i wanted an anneversery edition 1500 wing and i wouldn't have covered the emblems with anything but wax
Yes, I believe it is..Is this puppy waterproof ?
You also have to take into consideration regarding placement on the right side fairing cover that the wire feeds out from the right side of the gauge, so I'd imagine you would have to notch the cover and route the wire inside the compartment and then drill a hole to pass the wire through. Sounds like a plan.I don't have a anniversary plate anywhere on my Wing, so I guess I could put it on the Goldwing plate. The other place I was thinking about was on the cover for the compartment on the right side of the fairing. (the one that locks). That's nice and flat. Would need to find a place to conceal the wires.... HUMMMM
Has anyone actually heard how loud the alarm is on the Battery Bug??Somebody jinxed me here. I went to my sister's house to wish her a Happy Birthday. She lives in a town home on an uphill incline. I left the bike in gear as a parking brake and cut the engine off with the kill switch. It's my sister's home, I don't need to remove the key, it's parked in front of her house. But I should have at least turned the key off. An hour after the visit and I'm ready to leave I'm looking for jumper cables. Had I the Battery Bug that alarm might have saved the ignominy of a jump start.
