Looking a little closer @ the wiring diagram, I think the light in
my head is starting to flicker.
The Brown/Black keeps the clock running and the Blue/Red
is a switched, (on/off) function to turn on the unit.
I am assuming, (there I go again), that you could run the
whole unit on the 9V battery and install a switch on the
handle bar to turn in on/off. Otherwise I'd need to install
a rectifier, like you did, to provide DC power. I have a small
rectifier that came off my EC300 that was used to provide
DC to power the horn. It should be more than strong enough
to power the gage alone. I installed the same TrailTech
Rectifier/Regulator that you did after doing the floating ground
modification mentioned in another thread. Now my 300's system
is fully DC and runs a small 1.2Ah sealed lead/acid battery.
I am planning on using this AceWell on another bike some time
in the future.
Thank you again for your help, it is much appreciated.
Jeff, So.Cal.
