Hi everyone,
The next step on the project list is a speedo (I've actually been riding without one for the past month, and having got flashed last night... well.. let's just say it's time to invest!).
I'm looking for a relatively discrete, ideally half analogue, half digital, or fully digital speedo. As a minimum it will have a neutral light, signals, fuel gauge, revs and speed. Judging by the number of gorgeous K bikes running around with aftermarket speedos, I'm guessing/hoping it's possible.
Do you have any experience with them? Good ones/ones to avoid/ones that are easy to connect/ones that use the existing sensors?
Electronics are not my strong suit, but am happy to follow the diagram. Will I be able to wire it myself?
Ones that have caught my eye so far are:
Motogadget Motoscope speedos (eg... http://motogadget.com/en/digital-instruments/digital-dashboard-pro/motoscope-pro.html - decent but soooo expensive!)
Acewell (http://www.acewell.co.uk/Acewell%20Speedometers/ACE-4xxx/ACE-4554AB.htm?action=full&id=42 and the 2856AB too)
Thanks! Really appreciate your views on this one...
