digital speedo's

whats the best? cheapest? nicest looking? ive seen a couple, but a few things i want to clear up (maybe Marchesini could help?). things like what sort of price would this sort of thing cost to install???

the best ? obviously a matter of opinion im rateing SPA design
the cheapest ? , some sort of pushbike one
nicest ? personal preferance and all that very hard call that one

looking at anything from £50 to £2k (if your mental)

Marchesini has a Translogic race dash on his S4R, it's top piece of kit that will cost around £500 + whatever you pay someone to set it up if you don't have the skills yourself. Don't forget to budget the same again for a FIM U59 ECU (+ setup) since as soon as you remove your standard clocks the immobiliser in the stock ECU kicks in.

so slob, i could be looking at about a grands worth of work then?

scotty cheers, ive had a look at a few of them brands, and some look ok, im not too keen on a tiny one tho, i like the race looking dashes. something i could mount on my standard triple clamp.

tho how about these?

would it be a problem that its a yank thing? as in connecting to my bike and all that?

Those Koso ones look great

BUT

Slob has a very good point, the S2R clocks are linked to the ECU and form part of the immobiliser. Change the clocks and the bike won't start or run, unless you change the ECU as well, cost around £500 plus dyno setup, on top of the cost of the new clocks.

I'm fitting one of these to the Guzzi cafe racer I'm building, from Motogadget (link in post above). Looks good and it does silly stuff like record 0 to 60 time, top speed etc.

lol by the time im finished im gonna have so much extra wiring on my bike! the LED rear light/indicators, the new headlights, the PCIII, new clocks, the ECU.......

i got a acewell 3000 somthing from bandit mania love it but display can be a little bit bright

It might be worth talking to these guys about the immobiliser.

I've not used them I just spotted a reference to them on the other channel. They're in King's Lynn so not to far from you.

Just out of interest, how are the clocks wired? I would have thought that it was possible to remove the circuit board from the clocks, hide it somewhere and extend the wires back to the front of the bike.

Clearly the receiver for the immobiliser must be in there somewhere, so you'd need to keep it near the keys...

You can do it that way but space is scarce on a monster, even for a single circuit board. The reciever is a loop round the ignition switch which detects the transponder in the ignition key.

Thanks Slob. Sage words as always

BTW, I like the bottom Koso one. Not for the monnie - it's too classic/classy for that, but for a more sports focussed bike - perfect!
