OK, I bought one of the voltmeters knowing that it wasn't plug-n-play, but splicing wires on my ride scares the bejeezus out of me. Searched the web for a how-to page, but no luck. Anyone done one of these and have any suggestions or lessons learned from the experience?

Oh, and the vented belly pan went on without a hitch thanks to the postings on it here.

Nothing much here, but the power supply is talked about: http://gl1800riders.com/forums/showthread.php?t=240658&highlight=voltmeter

Found this comment on another board. Hope this helps..

"No problem ever with water. I mounted mine right above the GW emblem. Also, please consider running the pick up voltage right to the two screw terminals on the fuse block by the battery. Much better place to be checking system voltage."

You can run the wires from the unit to the ACC. terminal on the fuse box, then you don't have to cut any wires on the bike.

Thanks, guys! I'll most likely be doing the installation this weekend, thanks to the sage advice.

I have the service manual if it could be of service to you.

I might have to take you up on that, Chopin! I'dm sure that I'll purchase one in the future, but it would be nice to see one beforehand anyways.

Thanks!

Ask and ye shall receive.

The install went as well as I could have expected. Only hitch was that the top/positive screw stripped out. I was able to get it out and found a replacement at Home Depot that worked just fine. And yeah, I replaced both of them just so they'd match! hehe

I mounted it on the frame in the bottom of the right handlebar well as was suggested and the hardest part was just figuring out how to route the wires.

Thank you to all for the sage advice!
