definitely looks interesting. I like #1 better because it looks like it uses the stock speedo cable instead of a hall sensor.

i like them but they say they dont fit 2 strokes and the fzr fires every rotation same as a 2 stroke ignition so you might wanna contact the seller and find out why they say no 2 strokes

No temperature display, no dimensions posted, no mention of documentation (let alone documentation in *English*), and probably not much support you can expect from the seller.

It's your own cash, but, IMHO, $91 shipped is just plain ridiculous. You may be able to justify astronomically high pricing for brand-name aftermarket bling, but not for a Chinese knockoff that probably costs ~$5 to produce.

It's an interesting find, though.

I got that gauge, the tach works, you can change the fuel gauge changes to temp gauge, haven't been able to check speedo accuracy.

Did you ever end up getting this? I'm having some serious issues with my speedo. I would love to hear if these work at all. The typical digi ones you see are really pricey, this would be a great alternative.

I still cant say enough good things about the trailtech speedo. A little pricey, but it's great! Definitely $$ well spent.

Which model do you have? What's the cost, roughly? They do not have the idiot lights, correct?

I bought the gauge from eBay for $91, hooked up speedo and it seems to be about correct speed, haven't had a chance to check accuracy but I'm happy with it. Dummy lights work but took a lil wiring for it to work...

Are these things running tach as well? Or more specifically, do they work with our mechanical tachs?

You got the Vapor for $91? I thought these things were more like $300. I need to do some more research.

Thanks folks.
