Looks purrfect!

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.

Looks good! Sometimes we just over think the task at hand. Been there done that.

Thank you everyone for your input. Especially Finless Bob, Cruzr Joe, and BillyBovine. After busting my noodle trying to figure out how to do it the hard way, I got the Voltmeter working by tapping into the orange and black wire just like you guys said to do. It works! :dg1:
Looks good, did you disconnect both gauges?

Yes, I disconnected both. It seems that you have to disconnect both gauges in order to get the digital display to work. So now I have a dead fuel gauge on the left side. I need to figure out what to put in that spot.
Thanks for your advice Joe.

Now, disconnect the other gauge, and a digital readout will appear, allowing you to put something else on the left! Like a USB PORT!
I did. The digital display is working. I may consider the USB port as the next project.

Obviously water will permeate the gauge face and follow along the wire into your frunk and then into your fuse box!
OK, a lot of advise and some of it is contradicting... GET A MULTIMETER. Put it is VDC scale with black probe on black wire. I think it is the black that is ground. Put RED probe on one of the two other wires. Should be nothing on VDC scale. Turn key on. Should be about 12.5 VDC. That wire is switched VDC and what you want to connect to. You have another wire for gauge illumination. Wrap it to the hot wire and stick in into the plug there where you found the switched VDC. You want switched for the illumination. I put my identical gauge in the left side hole. It isn't really very accurate. Measures 12.5 VDC at idle and 13.8 VDC when the bike is underway. I have measured at the battery and the real output should be 14.2 VDC when the engine is revved up to about 3.5K rpm.
