As to whether or not they're worth the silly prices that some people ask for them, that's a whole 'nother issue.

The functions I chose to use are simply wires tapped into the existing instrument's main plug, and tucked away behind the steering head out of harm's way.

For a speedometre I use my mobile phone with a commonly available GPS speedo app in a Ram mount.

I've watched and read about the difficulties people had/have with fitting those way kewl Motogadget speedos, and other brands, and attempting to reduce the loom to its essentials. I didn't bother. Works fine. I can ride twenty miles cross town or two hundred cross state, in Summer heat or Winter cold. I am 'forced' to be certain of fuel level, and of maintaining a level engine operating temperature. Against 'common knowledge', the alternator charges as intended, too.

You are every reason why I loathe joining these forums.  I had my K for almost a year before Rob the TGPI guy convinced me to join.  You seem like one of those keyboard commandos trying to make himself feel relevant.
