Dream Voltmeter

Well I still don't trust the marginal charging system. So I have installed a small digital voltmeter to keep an eye on it. Only ON when the key is on. There is a .5VDC drop when the headlight is on. Currently on the charger showing 13.5VDC

Nice!

What does it say when you crank the starter?

It cost about $8 - Here is a link for it .

I made the bracket from aluminum stock.

Did you wire it directly to the battery, or pick up a switched feed from the harness?
