    Again, very nice vid Terry.

    Will you be doing a 3rd one to go over your voltmeter? (or did I miss that in the 1st vid...)

    The dimple in the gas cap was not in anticipation for a screw... it's most likely the injection point used in the molding process.

    The voltmeter in operation was in the first vid.
    Did you have any specific questions on its install or operation?
    Regarding the dimple, I try to give Honda engineers as much credit as I can. In taking the bike apart, I realize that some of their planning and execution is brilliant.

    Ok thanks; I'll re-watch the 1st one.

    I must have missed it because I only recently started thinking about getting one. The generator in my car died last week and of course it threw a code onto the OBD bus and I was able to replace it before it went completely kaput and stranded me somewhere. A stark realization soon followed that we have no indication of a failing generator on the bike... so now I wanna get one.

    If your voltmeter is lit and operating in the 1st vid, that would answer my question. I'm looking for just the right aesthetic; I prefer a digital meter but want something that blends with the bike. I wish Honda made a digital one.


    I agree on the planning and execution of the bike... what a machine eh?

    Aww your voltmeter is not on in the 1st vid

    Does the vendor website show what it looks like when ON? Who is the vendor?

    WTF?

    Try again at 12:03 of the first video.

    Oh, ok. I guess at 5:30 you were just previewing it.

    Throttle Lock

    How does the throttle lock work? I got one of the cheap ones, and have not been all that happy. I had an old spring/thumb one on my VTX so I habitually try to use my thumb, so I like the one you have on there. Does it work well?

    It works perfectly.
    It is a bit fussy to set up to work perfectly. There are some fine adjustments that must be made, but if you follow the instructions to the letter you will be fine.
