Argus Battery Bug

[Cougar]

Hey gang, so those of you that have the Argus Battery Bug, where have you mounted it?

Pictures please, I already have a Kuryakyn LED mounted and it works great, 4 years running and no problems, but going one step father, been hearing pretty good reviews about them.

 

Also, how have you been liking yours?

 

Thanks,

Jeff

I don't have the Bug but I like the unit.

 

I went simple on mine but it is a problem to mount on the 2nd gens.

But if I had my druthers, and more expendable cash I'd like to have this unit. Nice feature with the amp info.

I mounted mine on the brake reservoir using velcro so when I want to check the brake fluid level I simply put the bug off to check then stick it back on. I ran the wire down the handlebar with the other wires back to the battery and have had no problems with it. I definitely would give the Battery Bug a

I mounted mine to the rear fender in by the right grab handle. Easy to see when I want to check before going for a ride.

Some really great Idea's guys..

[Cougar]

Well I think I found my SweetSpot

Not sure to leave it black or paint in in MM Color

Black looks OK tho.

Used a Little aluminum flat stock , one screw, and a little bit of Goop.

Run wires into fairing back out under tank to Battery.

Ok, my wheels are turning on something I saw in Kisan sight. There was a link to installing meter in side mirror. I don't want a meter there though.

 

Anybody got an idea how to get a mirror glass out of a 1st gen (intact) and be able to put it back in.

Thats the one on kisan sight.

 

I am thinking LED's mounted to form a turn signal arrow. I could also disable them at night if they were to bright, with a low cost photovoltaic unit. Something like what is in my head light modulator.

[Cougar]

Yep, Mike. Now I can see or tell if it has been working right all this time.

Mike your letting me down. you didnt find the third meter in the photo. Sheesh.

[Snaggletooth]

Fine ..... ya made me look again.

 

Right under the riser.

 

You going to feel comfortable now with all this available data?
