Bumbleberry + Crumble = Yum!
Re: Add On digital voltmeter
Okie-Dokie: I swapped my 85/80 watt headlight bulbs for 60/55 watt +50s. The voltage read on the Datel meter rose by 0.4 volts. I have not ridden at night with the lower wattage bulbs, but I did notice how much longer the higher wattage bulbs are. I suspect that having the longer bulb was not a good thing for light-focusing. We'll see.
Also: I rode yesterday with an 88 degree air temp. The fans came on as before while sitting at a stop (on the freeway, of course). I am pretty sure that the voltage reading I saw was correct, and it mirrored what I saw when I thought that there was an meter error. I'll keep an eye on this as the temps go higher still, but I think that the meter is fine.
