Hello All.
Now that I have my Comfort Kit on the way from American Sport Bike, I'm looking to purchase/install a computer on my 08 XT. After looking around for a while, it looks like the Vapor Stealth might be the one. Does anyone have experience with installing one on a Uly, or thinks this may be a bad idea? Thanks in advance for the help. Russ

There is better out there. I use the Veypor VR2

Thanks very much for the replies.

Froggy, yeah, I think I'm going to go with the VR2 also. I liked the look of the Vapor, but the VR2 looks more functional.

Just hope I don't electrocute myself during the install... Or worse yet, nuke my XT.

I've lost count of how many times I have shorted something or gotten my bike caught on fire, I think you will be fine!

Only weakness of the VR2 is that its not waterproof. It can take a mild or moderate rain fine, but a downpour and its toast till it drys out. Mine will once in a while bug out even when dry now.

Actually the other day I stripped off some of your electrical tape so I can dig in and remove some goodies, lets just say the positive battery lead puts on an interesting show when it gets close to the seat rails : D


Ive been bouncing between the Blast and CR depending on my mood : )
