Guys, I have in development a very compact tachometer/speedo combo gauge!
I want some feedback from everyone, what kind of mounting would you like to see on something like this? mount to handlebars, etc?

I am working to make it Plug and Play for motorcycles, you can plug it into your stock speed sensor, and your in-between your sparkplug coil plug, and then mount it somewhere, now you have a tach/speedo.

You would press a button to switch between Tach / Speedo view.

The gauge is small, but the display is still easily readable from sitting on the bike no matter where you mount it.

Let me know what you guys think, anyone want something like this?


Printout of PCB design so you can get an idea of the size this unit will be, final product will be over-molded in a black weatherproof enclosure which should only be a few mm larger than the printout seen here.

I would buy one. I had a Vapor speedometer on my motard but something like this would be perfect for the f4i.

i run a trek mountain bike speedometer on my bike, $29.95 and its pretty accurate for the price! it just slides right off when you get to the lot! lol how much will this be costing?? and yeah the handlebar mount works good.

You need to add a gas light

I've still got to do the numbers on figuring the cost, but quick guess I'm thinking somewhere around 80 bucks. I'll probably have a cheaper intro price when they are first released.

Yeah I've actually bought 3 or 4 Vapors myself, they work pretty good for speed, one of the problems I've noticed with them is the tach though, it's not accurate, and tends to jump around a lot. also the tempature readings on the unit are pretty far off. The one on my crf floats, sometimes it is around 20 degree's off, and sometimes 10 degrees off . The unit on my WR250F was on average around 15 degree's off. At first I thought I probably had a flaky unit, but after owning a few of them, I guess they're all like that. Still a pretty cool gauge though, it gets me in the ballpark.
The plus on this unit is the tach will be reliable and accurate, its size will make it easy to mount anywhere, you wont have to replace any batteries on it. it will be vehicle powered.

I have plans to make a deluxe combo unit with tach/speed/temp/oil warning/low fuel/ maybe even gear indicator as well ... basically everything a stock cluster would have, but much smaller. Just have not got to that yet, I plan on working on it this winter though.

Its Dec as of 51 mins ago, Done yet?
Check out 450Forum.com , something like this would be sweet.

full mini cluster would be bad *** !!!!!!!!!!!!1

I wish it was that quick, lol, I can crank out some designs pretty quick, its the prototyping, building, and production that takes a bit of time. I'll check that forum out.

that is pretty hot.. i'll buy one in a heart beat.. i was thinking of getting one of the Koso clusters for my bike.

Expensive as hell though.. :\

starkid22

itll be good if it were mounted right by ignition small and compact great job

i don't think you'd need all that. i think most stunters would only need temp, fuel and fi light, although you would need a speedo to pass inspections if registering.

80 bucks isn't too bad at all!!!

INSANECRAZZY

i remember talking to you about a plug n play tach for the wr250x....... i take it this is it?
are you comming out with multiple designs like....... speedo / tach -or- tach only -or- tach/speed/temp/oil warning/low fuel.....ect. or are you doing the combo unit only for now?
i would still have interest, but more in a tach only model (if it was cheaper than the combo). although ive gotten used to it not having one. keep me posted
looks good so far

OnEWhEeLNEAL

word id buy one.

NARD BLOCKZ

werd, I'll cop a few too. Let us kno when you get these rollin

skillz

just noticed something only three digits on the display?

12oclocker

Right, RPM readings will be at x1000, example:2500 RPM would display at [ 2.5], 10,500 RPM would read as [10.5]


Yes, I'll have a plug and play version available for the WR250X very soon, the connectors are already on order!

I would mount one on my rat rod
