KOSO Digital Voltmeter

[Sodbuster]

Has anyone tried one of these ??  Did a search and nothing popped up. Looks like a nice unit and is digital.
A nice alternative to the Kuryakyn LED unit and a decent price. Has RED or BLUE readout and I believe it's waterproof.

I like my Kury LED one, but I wish I would have seen this one before I bought it........

Good one.  At least it has a digital readout.  The LED-only ones don't provide meaningful info for me.  I picked up this one from Autozone for about $10 - had digital readout and warning LED's, and a small size and price.  Not the best looking, but practical.  Comes with a lighter plug which I just cut off and wired it to a relay triggered by ignition.  It could of course also be wired directly to the accessory wire, if one doesn't have relays triggered by ignition.  You get a lighter plug to put in your kit and use for something else.

The E Bay listing says nothing about being waterproof. Maybe; Maybe not.

I like it alot, but I do wish it was lighted so I could see it at night.  I do like the LED  display on the Koso.

Don't forget the import and shipping fees. There listed on the same page. Add those fees on and the price break starts to suffer. Still, maybe a good deal if it works good.

Hey MarkT:
Are the LEDs beside the concho to make you look spooky?

or you can get one of these and stash it under the side cover, 5 bucks cant go wrong

fixed had the wrong one, but you get the idea you can get one of these for 5-10 dollars and put it under a side-cover, key on or running check you volts to battery.Have this style on my valk and its good for a cheap quick look at the voltage.

I've got one in my tool box to be installed on MGM, blue one, red is not very easy to read in the sunlight.

The Chevy Trike has a Dakota digital Volt meter (Blue) in the dash of it.      I wish now I'd of gotten the whole set of Dakota Digitals, I think it would be a sweet looking dash.    Speedo. Tach, oil pressure, gas gauge, clock, all in blue digital.    Sheet, now I've talked myself into a job.    Will have to get all of these guys ordered.

Way it goes when you are retired, my grandson says retarded.     I have a feeling he might have nailed it, back when he was 1st  starting to talk.  

He commented once to his mom that Grandpa was retarded.  She said you mean retired, he looked her directly in the eye and said, listen mom, that is what I said, retarded.

Jeez Louise, I just went to their site and looked up the 6 guage kit.   $724.96 and that is only the gauges, wow mom, I might be retarded, but not that much.

[sugerbear]

i drooled over the dakota digital too, just couldn't pull the trigger.

Gee thanks R J, now I'm feeling retarded. Will somebody get me out of this thread!!?? Stop me!  

Too late: R J, Do the Dakota digital 3-3/8" speedometer and tachometer fit inside the standard Valkyrie cups? Please tell me they don't!
