L.E.D. Battery Gauge

(link)

Unfortunately, most riders find out that their charging system has failed when they end up broken down on the side of the road. A little advanced warning can keep you from being stranded in the middle of nowhere. Now you'll know at a glance whether or not your charging system is working properly. This L.E.D. Battery Gauge is an array of L.E.D.s indicating the operating voltage of the bikes electrical system. Green L.E.D.s represent the normal operating range of your charging system, 12.5v to 14.5v. Amber L.E.D.s warn the rider that the bike is not charging. If the reading drops below 10v or exceeds 15v, a flashing red L.E.D. will alert the rider of an impending stall or the possibility of damage to the battery and/or sensitive electronic components on the motorcycle. Simple two-wire connection and a compact size (about 2"x3/4"x3/16") make installation a breeze. A daylight sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the L.E.D.s. They are bright during the day for visibility and dim at night so as not to blind the rider.

Do you have the same unit? Looks nice, I will probably pick one up. Where did you mount it?

Mounted immediately to right of ignition key switch.

A little linkage love would be good, since I posted the link to the source of the meter over at the Yahoo BB a couple nights ago...
