    Default Looking for place to mount a digital volt meter on 2021 RT

    I have a digital voltmeter, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1DTS5L5...roduct_details. Would appreciate others ideas, with pictures if possible on where you have mounted a voltmeter on your 2020 or newer RT's.

    On my ‘21 F3 I have a Cell phone/GPS docking station that mounts to the center of the bars and comes with a choice of power USB/Cig ports. I replaced one with a USB/USB C/Volt meter. Not sure about the RT. I thought if there was an individual port version?

    I put my combination double usb/voltmeter in the right speaker grill. I wired it directly to the battery, both hot and ground. Very convenient when I have my phone in the TacForm phone mount say, when using Google Maps on my phone as it charges continuously. I removed the grill and used a spade bit to drill a hole in the grill and secured it with the locknut that came with it. Hardest part was running the wiring to the battery, but even with that it only took me about an hour and a half start to finish. The one that I got is no longer available on Amazon, but there are others. Good luck & here's a link.

    I was considering this also on our 2022, They should have included this in the dashboard with the ability to scroll to it like most modern vehicles have today.

    I have one of these mounted on the left hand of the handlebar. It has a dual function, one function is if nothing is plugged into it it shows the voltage of the bike and the other is if you have something plugged into the USB port it shows the voltage going to the USB item.

    I have a 2019 Mini and it doesn’t have any kind of volt meter in the dash menu. Nor does it have one anywhere else.

    Off topic, I have the same volt meter on my sled.
    Sorry I can help you with placing the volt meter on a 2020 and newer RT''s.

    Hope some one will chime in with pictures.

    Hi Al,

    ( off topic, I used the volt meter on my sled this past weekend, and it works well). I check the volt meter on my sled, it gives me good info.
