My newest farkle and maybe the last
Well, it has taken a while, but I think I've run out of things I've wanted to add to my RT, but, I have to say the wheel balancers that Lamonster Garage has look interestin.
I hope this video works:

Well Bob, there are a couple of things I still don't have, a trailer, the wheel balancer I mentioned, but not much really. I think I'd like and F3, but as long as my wife is my riding partner I won't get rid of the RT. For my money, it is the best trike for riding two up. So now all I need to do is put gas in it, (gas isn't a farkle is it?), and ride, ride, ride.....................

Hi David ... greeting from Switzerland.
very nice. Thanks for sharing.
I have the voltmeter gauge but an analogue clock.
I think that you did set this up in a very nice way and uniform (same kind of gauges).
Now mine are not installed yet and I may consider changing my clock for the one you habe but some question for you ...
I noticed that you have the animation of the gauge when you turn off the key. That means both gauges are permanently connnected to your battery also.
- is this taking a lot of you battery?
I am afraid that if I setup mine like this, not using my Spyder everyday and not connecting a battery tender, this may drain my battery.
any feedback from you on this?
Thanks in advance and thanks for sharing this (but I am convinced that those are NOT your last Farkles).
kind regards,
Bernard
And congrat for your work!

Glad to see you every once in a while, missed your posts. I remember when you did your dash, and thought it was really nice. Since my RT is black, I think I'll leave the dash black.

Hey BernardD, good point, and yes the animation calls for a constant 12 volt source, but the clock would require a constant voltage source anyway in order to keep constant time. I don't think that actually draws down the battery much, but I don't leave my RT sitting around idle too much, I ride a good bit most of the time, and , when I'm not riding, the Battery Tender is connected. But, I did buy one of those jump boxes that Lamonster Garage sells and can not jump start the Spyder if needed.

I have 17,000+ miles on my 2014RTS-SE6. It only took 3 years to get to my current mileage. I have put on a lot of farkles, 2 new front tires, ( last year) 1 rear tire( General Altimax RT43, which I have a lot of thread left. )Deanna

Pretty much, you need a constant 12 volt, and a switched 12 volt, plus a ground, for each guage.
