Small box

Post by bosley1980 »

Today I made a little box that measures two values​​.
1) The temperature outside (LEFT)
2) Voltmeter - to know the condition of the battery and if I ever recharges (RIGHT)

I KNOW - It is a something different than analog indicators.... but working great.

Maybe after time remove it - has not done any construction changes

Looks very well built like the footpegs Bosley, would be nice if that temperature reading was the oil temperature. :evil:

It would not be hard to do, put a sender on the underside of the oil tank like this one i have marked with the blue arrow.

Well it should be just over two litres Rod, thats the capacity of the bike & its a dry sump so the oil stays in that tank (i think) :scratch:

Are you thinking sub tank for fuel? so just under three litres. ??

It is an interesting idea.

For the old XTs, replace your battery with a capacitor and move the regulator. Fit a TT600 oil tank from the same era. This would allow you to use the oil tank space at the back for fuel.
