+**Adding a Voltage Meter**
+{{ :techtalk:ref:elec:voltagemeter-instrumentbracket.jpg?400|}}((photo by Sportsterpaul of the XLFORUM))
+Sportsterpaul of the XLForum wanted to monitor his battery voltage due to repeated charging issues. So he mounted a small digital meter between his Speedo and Tach so he could see his voltage while riding. As you can see on the Speedo (97,000 miles) he does plenty of riding.
+These meters simply have a two wire connection (Positive & Ground) so you can tap into whatever voltage supply wiring is closely available to monitor the voltage on that circuit.
+Up thru 2013, you should look to connect to the Accessory Circuit which uses an ORANGE/White wire (or simply ORANGE wire on older models) as the voltage supply to the instruments and other accessories.
+From 2014-later (with the Body Control Module handling power distribution), you should look to connect your meter to the BLUE wire which is for powering the Lights.
