• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Digital Voltmeter w/analog style led readout

I replaced my gauges with Cyberdyne from Summitt. OK, with several lens to change the color, in case you're a moody person. I looked at your Amazon choice and it looks super. I wonder if it's made of lead or granite? Shipping weight is 5 lbs!! Pretty heavy for a voltmeter.

good point.
 
This is a 52 mm (2 inch diameter) unit and will fit your dash pod fine. Rather than running wires from your fuse block, I would suggest you simply tap into the existing wiring that you disconnected from either your fuel or engine temp gauge. (Orange is positive and black negative if I remember correctly) I have run this configuration for the past two years without issue.

When installing I put a bead of silicone around the gauge to aid in sealing the unit against the elements and to ensure that it adhered firmly in the dash pod hole.

The gauges are not certified waterproof, and after many hours of getting soaked with rain and while washing the bike, I have never had an issue with water seeping into the gauge.
 
I installed a marine grade voltmeter - Faria: http://www.boatersland.com/far-12821.html?gclid=CMeZx_ud064CFUcHRQodhEZfdw It ties in nicely with the stock gauges.

I used the existing power supply that went to the temp gauge - orange is positive, black is negative. You may need to tap into both of the orange wires if your gauge has a separate connection for the gauge light - mine did. By tapping into the existing lines, your gauge will shutdown when the bike does without putting a drain on the battery.
