Introduction
Have you every wondered:

How hot is my engine (coolant temperature)?

Did my last performance modification affect fuel economy?

How many gallons of fuel are really left?

The V-Gauge Lite is an electronic instrument specifically designed for the Harley-Davidson
V-Rod. The concept of the gauge is simple: use a 3-wire hook-up (ground, 12V, and digital bus)
to listen to the data running across the serial data bus. It comes with a pre-installed connector
ready to plug straight into the computer diagnostic port on your bike. Its compact size means
that it can be easily carried in your tool pouch or a jacket pocket. A small Velcro attachment
allows it to be quickly installed in any visible location on the front of your V-Rod all the time or
just when you need it.
