Pressure and Volt Gauge
« on: February 04, 2021, 01:28:59 PM »
Morning All..

I wanted a pressure gauge and a volt meter for my CB500K2. I couldn't find one available commercially so set about making one.
Quite pleased with the result, amazing what you can do when you're locked down and bored  :) :)

That looks pretty neat nice combination of analogue & digital displays.

The relief breaches at 60psi I believe,  and they'd probably run 45psi and upwards when hot.

The oil light extinguishes much lower,  so really indicates if it's pumping and sufficient to not suspect a mechanical problem exists.

Hope that helps
