Installing a Sigma bicycle computer: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

*Go to the [[I want to make my bike into a streetfighter|streetfighter article]] and look at the companies that sell gauges that are wired into the bike's 12 volt system

*Try to find a lighted speedometer that can be hard-wired to 12v

*Figure out the battery it takes (probably a 1.5v if it's a single battery) and go to Radio Shack. They have preset output voltage regulators for a couple bucks. If you can figure out how to wire one of those from your speedometer to a 12v aux line, you'll be set. You'll need to use one of the bike circuits that comes on with the key, such as the gauge cluster lights, and not the always-on accessory wires.

If you can figure out how to wire one of those from your speedometer to a 12v aux line, you'll be set. This will probably involve some disassembly and soldering, as in the [[Opening your garage door with your light switch|garage door mod]].
