Volt Meter

Post by Name Etc. »

Had this thing laying around for a couple years. Thought I would install it. fit nice on that spot.
Alex pointed out that my Nuts were crooked... Go figure. Now I need a whole new plate and start over. (If that is even what he meant)

That spot is perfect for adding farkles. The nuts look straight to me, so I don't even want to know what Alex was referring to or how he knows. ;)

I put my Honda ST1300 heated grip controller there - ha ha. I actually have Honda, Suzuki and Harley parts all installed on my FJR! ;)

I later straightened my nuts Per Alex's request. So the edges of the nuts where in line parallel to the edge of what we will now call the Farkle Square.... Then he counted lines in the plastic and said I was two lines off on one nut to the edge, from the other. Why is he so obsessed with nuts?

Is it just me, or is the voltmeter sideways? It was Friday yesterday!

Yes sideways. I installed garage door push button. Then the HID switch flame throwers on button... The only place was sideways. But I think I want a new plate so I can do it straight. ...

Cool. I went to Ohio cycle and bought both a volt meter and a thermometer (for less then the price of a datel). You gen2/3 guys don't need the thermo. I miss having a built in trip computer,thermometer, tmps, and gear indicator.
