Installed my mini LED volunteer....wired into my ignition switch block connector.
Voltage down as my headlight has been on a bit.  I'll compare it to a reading off my battery and see the diff.

That's neat.

Where would I get a mini LED voltmeter like that?

Nothing :( It was my turn to work the Saturday shift at work. When I started in this business 26 years ago car dealers parts departments were open 8 to 5 Monday thru Friday no Saturdays. How times haves changed now it's 7 to 7 thru the week and 8 to 5 on Saturday and even tinkering with the idea of half days on Sunday >:( I guess they want us there 24-7 ::)

Its going to be in the 50's today so the CB's are going to see some asphalt ;D

Fired the 750 with the kick only.....battery is completely drained.

When idling, the lights are dim, when revved, they go bright.

Seems its time for a new battery.

Went for a ride anyways, hiccups some, all in all smooth ride.

Also got this ready for some body work.

I took pity on the neglected XL250s and took it out for about 20 miles. 
It was so nice I just couldn't ignore the 750 either.
Ran it for about 60 miles. :) It liked the cool air.

Too bad ::).   One of my coldest riding moments took place in Fla, like you I had inadequate gear when the temp dropped from the low 70's to the upper 30's-and it rained too.  Have you used the parts you got from me?...Larry

Hi Greggo,

...how fast is "fast" ?

It's a relative term ;D As in, 'it's faster than my 500/4' ;D ;D  It will be much faster with the 836 kit, and Web Cam 41 I got from MoMo ;)
