That neat little nugget plugs in to end of my battery tender cable. When you push the button it tells you what your battery level is at. Thought it could be handy to have around. Let's me know pretty quickly if I'm better off just kick starting it. Canadian bikes don't have the option of turning off the headlight, which drains the battery REAL quick.

So the battery tender on bike cable that includes the quick disconnect will plug into that, then lifting the seat and tapping the button it gives you a real time battery voltage? Can you leave it connected with the bike running? That would show the Dyno output.

Edit. Where did ya get it?

You got it. I haven't tried it out with the bike running yet to see if it would works for that, but I suspect it would.

I picked it up at Canadian Tire. It's made by Motomaster, which is a Canadian Tire brand, but not sure if it could be found stateside too. I mean, if you can buy Helly Hansen, I'm not sure why Motomaster wouldn't go international too.

No sir, it does not look pretty close. It looks bang on. Probably made on the same line.

I found something that will work in place of the factory screw. It's at least the right type of screw. It's a KTM part, part number 0081030081. I got them for $0.19 each.

The head is a bit small, and it's a torx drive, but the thread pitch and style are basically the same, and the length is the same. So close?

I’m sure you could but a small washer under it if it looks a small. But it’s not in any high clamping situation

Just took delivery on these from China. They should work well. I order 3x8s as well as 3x10s so I can grind off the tip if desired.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationTo wrap this up, these look pretty good to me.
