I finally got around to installing a Datel voltmeter in the speaker grill. It was a simple installation. I removed the fairing pockets and the dashboard or meter cover or whatever you want to call it. Behind the speaker grill is a box used for mounting the speaker (see pic). I made a filler piece to go behind the grill from a piece of car detritus found along the road during a bicycle ride. I find all sorts of valuable stuff while I'm out pedaling.:smile: The filler piece is intended to keep water out. A little saw blade on a Dremel tool did a neat job of cutting holes through the filler and the grill. The voltmeter is held in place with a brass compression fitting (see pic). The last pic shows the meter in action with the bike at idle. Now I can monitor the charging system while loading it with heated gear, lights, etc.
