I would definately have the translogic dash if i could - it does give it that high spec look - one of those things to do sometime when the money is there!!

Is it one that counts bolts?

How big is it? Will it mount it on the inside of the swingarm to count the rear disc bolts?

NC30V - lets see some pics of it!!

Whats the wiring loom that it comes with like?
are the instructions good?
Will it need setting up on a dyno?
plus pics of the speed sensor - I was contemplating mounting it (if and when I get one) on the bracket that holds the rear brake hose out of the way of the wheel and chain - or at least in and around that area.

I just downloaded and cut out the scale size micro dash off their site - it looks awesome - and its only a piece of paper!!!lol

Cheers Smev

I made a stainless steel bracket for my speed sensor. More rigid than aluminium so less chance of the sensor wobbling around, and stainless won't corrode either. It sits within 5mm or so off the disc bolts, behind the fork leg and using the back of the threads of the fork pinch bolts to hold it in place. Invisible from the front of the bike as well, and the sensor wire follows the brakeline routing further up.

An old photo, from the time of my bike's Konica incarnation, but the clearest shot I have of the bracket.

cheers craig, i was planning on hooking up to the rear wheel and getting set up on dino!

smev- ill get some pics sorted out of it but its just a translogic same as craigs. lol the instructions seem prety good. seems like basic plug and play with a few fiddley bits. but looks pretty good. set up could prove difficult...lol
