I've been using a VC97 digital multimeter for about a year now & it has been a handy tool. ebbaayy <$30. The robotroom rated it as a good inexpensive meter to have. It has a protective rubber jacket & came w test probes & temp probe. The little manual is poorly written in broken English, but you can figure it out & I was able to download one to my computer. I'm sure the electronics gurus could recommend something better, but all in all I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Thought Id bring this thread back. Would like to hear which pocket(or other) multimeters riders carry with them on long bike trips.

Actually a test bulb is very useful and takes up little room.
Most of the time you're looking to see if you have juice or not.
For those occasions you need to test continuity you can wire a 9v battery holder with a couple of clips and use it as your source.
Harbor freight has the bulb tester cheep. As mentioned they also have a multimeter but I've not had much luck with longevity under the seat.
