War (or anyone else who has done this) can you give me some info on how you wired your voltmeter? I'm looking to install a volt and/or amp meter ... :)

Thanks.

You are running a single battery, right? If so, the voltmeter is easy. I wired mine using a relay direct to the battery positive terminal. The relay allows it to be ignition fired. You're best off going direct to the post, gives you a more reliable reading. I installed an inline fuse right at the battery post.

Philo, I think I know what War is talking about and can give you a hand if you need it. It's a rather easy install.

I'll be worrying about it a bit later, maybe week after next. Yep, I'm running a single Red Top.
