| Gauge is great but this is the second one they sent and there is no wiring harness in the box even though the web site states it comes with one if I had not already drilled the hole I would have sent it back I made my own |

Good Quality Gauge

I read many of the reviews for this meter. Some had issues with the wiring not being long enough or the connector to plug it in was not found or available for various reasons. For some reason this issues seemed to arise on 2010 model GL1800's according to the reviews. I have a 2004 GL1800. I actually located the unused plug in the wiring harness behind the right panel on my bike then I ordered the part. The plug on my bike is a two-pin plug that is red in color. I received the part in the usual couple days it takes them to ship products (Pretty damn fast). The was an installation sheet in the package, but I usually don't refer to them on a part that, to me, is so simple to install and the instructions are lacking. I would have to say I have an educated technical background in mechanics. Installation suggestion: Disconnect the battery, positive cable first. Next remove the trim piece on the right side of the fairing, start from the bottom and work your way to the top. Next remove the fairing screw that holds the panel, 5mm hex wrench. Just below the mounting screw there is a slot. Use a thin flat-blade screw driver and gently pry the locking tab away from the fairing to unlock the panel on the outer edge. Then rotate the panel up and pull it out from the inner edge. Now, there is a cable from the lock cylinder which leads to the locking box directly above. To remove this cable, unsnap the cable housing from the metal bracket. Rotate the panel up to remove the cable end from the lock cylinder. Look into the opening where the panel was removed. Toward the frame and directly back a couple inches, you'll see a wiring harness with a rubber boot around the harness. Inside the rubber boot on the harness is where I found my two-pin plug. It should be red in color. This is the plug used for the voltmeter. If something is plugged into the red plug, then there is another accessory using the plug. The wiring harness on the volt meter has a dual end plug, one male plug and on female plug. Plug the appropriate connector in to the wiring harness on the bike. Connect the battery (This is to test the meter before you drill a hole in the panel). The meter will not work until the key is turned to the on or accessory position. Make sure you have a voltage reading and the back light on the meter is lit. If so, the meter is ready to be installed. Unplug the meter and disconnect the battery after this test. Next, find the center of the squared, recessed area of the panel. Using a ruler, drawn or scribe a line from the corner diagonally to the opposite corner. Then do the same to the other corners. You will make an "X." I would recommend placing the "X" on the back side of the panel. Use a hole saw (2 1/16"), center it on the "X" and make your hole. Since the panel is plastic, drill slowly and use light to moderate pressure to avoid melting the plastic or grabbing too big of a bite and possibly breaking the plastic panel. Clean the hole of any shavings as necessary. Now, get the volt meter and look at the back of the meter. You'll see a metallic "U" shaped bracket secured to the back center of the meter. Remove the nut holding the bracket and ground wire of the meter, then remove the bracket and ground wire. Get the panel and feed the wiring from the meter through the panel from the front side of the panel. Reinstall the bracket, the ground wire, and the nut onto the back of the meter. The "U" shaped bracket is what holds the meter on the panel. Slightly snug the nut and then position the meter to your liking and tighten the nut just enough to hold the meter firmly in place. Next, plug the meter into the red, two-pin plug. Reconnect the cable to the locking cylinder. Install the panel, the left side of the panel first to get the retaining tabs in place. Rotate the panel into the opening. You may have to manipulate the radiator overflow hose up to |

| nice looking volt meter but not plug and play on my 010 GL1800. Had to remove the top shell and lengthen the wires to make it work. Once done it does look good and knowing what the charging system is doing makes it worth it.3 stars only because it was more work then stated. |

Voltmeter for Goldwing
| Great product, easy to install, However, as in other reviews the instruction are lacking. I went to the same product that comes with the "Panel" as part of the purchase. These instructions tell you exactly where to go to find the electrical connector, what color it is and how the plugin uses only two of the three connectors in the plug. I hooked it up, connected the battery and I'm off down the road knowing my battery is in good shape....Safe Riding |

I am rating the meter with only 4 stars since it comes with no directions to install it on a GW. People are complaining because the unit is a "marine volt meter", what if it didn't say "marine" on it, then would that make it ok? I look at it like this: If it is good enough for a "Marine Vessel" then it should surely work fine on my motorcycle when I get caught in the rain since it is waterproof and fog free. As far as the light being "red" in the meter I think it is easier reading at nighttime. IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the cross lines on the back of the panel beside the key hole for the glovebox or the meter will not be in the center of the recessed area. I measured the center of the recessed area and marked it & drilled it from the front side of the panel. Just to let people know you need to drill a 2 1/16" hole to mount the meter so make sure you have a tool that size unless you have a steady hand to use a dremmel tool or whatever other tool you have. I used a 2 1/16" holesaw. I installed the meter on a 2009 audio/comfort GW. I had NO empty socket to install the power to. I cut the connector off of the meter and soldered a wire on the meter and ran it to the "accessory screws" in the fuse block. I figured it would also give me a more accurate reading. The meter seems to be very accurate. Just remember your GW does NOT charge as soon as you start your bike it takes a few seconds then it kicks in to charge. |

| On a 2010 non-ABS/GPS bike no connection port on the right side. If you don't want to fish wires to the battery, through the fairing over to the DC outlet or tap into the grip heating wires this is not for you. Figure out your connections BEFORE opening product or cutting on your bike, then decide if you want to tackle this. I called Wingstuff service and was told there wasn't an "extra" connection on the right side. Ended up wiring around and tapping into the AC behind the fuse. It looks nice but I wasn't happy that it was so difficult to connect to electrical. Instructions weak. |
