I could not find them on there. All they had where the ones pictured on that link.

Dennis Kirk has them though.

I like that Vapor dash. Too bad you have to run a sensor line for it, though. It does fit very nicely in the crook of the bars.

A couple more pics and some install notes would be cool, so if others want to do this they have a reference.

I would totally use one if it didn't need that sensor line. Too bad it can't tie in to the connection for the stock speed sensor. I'll bet there's a way you could convert whatever the pulses are from the stock speed sensor to work with this, but it would require a bit of electronics know-how, probably using a PIC or maybe even something as simple as a decade counter.

I'd of put it on the other side to balance the break line, still - thats an easy clean up detail type of thing - it doesn't bother me - how secure is the final mounting for the sensor? If its glue, I'd expoxy and paint black.

Here is one link I found for the Vapor gauge. I'm gonna save up for one. I really like the look and what it does.

http://trailtech.net/vapor.html

I see that they have specific versions with connections for specific bikes. They appear to be made for dirt bikes and ATVs. Can you give us a link to where you bought yours?

"Whats so bad about the sensor line? It's no big deal."

To each his own. I just don't like the look of a wire zip tied to the fork, that's all. If you're happy with it, that's all that matters

"i got part # 75-704 that includes the sensor for the spark plug to show engine temp."

I found the Vapor gauge for as low as $90 and the dash for it (which adds things like turn signal indicator lights and such) as an additional $40. You had said you got "everything" for $120 and, since your picture has the gauge and dash panel, I would assume your $120 includes both pieces. Please share with us just where you got yours from.

Phoebe--I'm going the dsPIC route. I have the designs in work now. I'm using a 128x64 LCD graphics display for the dash. It'll tie into my ignition module and my blinker module. I'll have a networked Blast!

Yeah it would! Some interesting pieces on that bike but I think using the billet anal beads for hand grips would be more than a little uncomfortable after about 5 minutes into a ride. LOL
