Default Dakota volt gauge

was getting some crazy readings all of a sudden via my stock 09 voltage gauge. Low readings and high readings making me break out the true rms all the time just to find out all was fine with everything.

I decided to order one of those Dakota volt digital led read out types.
I'm sure it's not true rms but I'm sure it's going to be more accurate than the stock analog gauge.

Anyone have any experience with running one of these?
I'm curious as to feedback. Thanks

I got the gauge today. Very very nice. Gauge looks smoked black face like a flat black satin. When you apply power the word VOLTS lights up in a nice green and the digital voltage displays in a nice blue readout.

I swear I checked the box for the red readout but it came in blue. No biggie. At least ill get a true reading to the half volt.

It comes with a lo setting of 11.1 volts and a high setting of 15.4 volts. You can also reprogram those hi/low numbers if you want something different. It also has a provision to dim the gauge if you want for night riding. Total cost shipped ground was $169.00.
A bit steep but at least it's a quality gauge and not the 39.00 hd special that ain't worth spit. Lol.....later fellas
