Damn you Wookie!

Wookie???

[Pittenger5]

I think Wookie has that one, or one like it, and I never got the chance to use it before he moved to Texas

Do you need to wire it to the bikes electronics etc or is it just batteries and velcro on?

Either way... Runs off of a 12v hardwire or slim lithium batteries... same as in your car remote. Probably cr2025..

I think he meant more for the rpm stuff

speed should be able to be garnered via the gps though

[rg500]

I have one on one of my motards. the tach pickup is just a wire that wraps around the spark plug wire. It is really cool.

[KillBill]

That's a really sweet piece of equipment.

[Fitz]

Almost makes the Veypor I was looking at seem antiquated.

2) YOU CAN SAY FAREWELL TO THE UNCOMFORTABLE INFRARED TRANSMITTERS ON THE PIT WALL

Thank goodness....my ass got sooo sore from sitting on those things...

But seriously...anyone trying to put together a group buy???

[SVRACER01]

Noel..you can get me one for christmas

[Fitz]

I'd really be interested in playing with the gps-rw model to understand what the mapping software provides. Any local dealers?

Thanks,
Fitz

And yes, I was talking about the rpm issue....

If you guys are serious, I'll look into the possibility of starting a dealer relationship with them. If they will sell them to me at a dealer price then we can do a group buy thing.

[CEO]

Isn't this thing a little overkill for anyone but the double-digit racers? It is pretty cool though.

Roland (rolker) made his own GPS setup that he ran at some track days, looked pretty cool. Maybe he could chime in on how to make a cheap one

Noel you get me that shock uber-cheap yet?

Still tryin' buddy... Still tryin'.


I can, however, offer you a very good deal on a new bike cover...

[Manny]

Exactly, its pretty cool.

[Fitz]

Definitely overkill.

That being said, the SV I purchased didn't come with any gauges or indicators. Before the season starts this year I was looking to add a shift light, tachometer for launching, and a gear indicator since the SV shifts so different than my zx6r. We also noticed that this SV runs hotter than other SV's at LRRS. How not? Not sure. I'm not really concerned with the speedometer function. Not to mention I could easily unbolt this and swap it onto my zx6r for spirited rides.

I'm legitimately interested depending on what the prices is. Like I said, I need a solution for all the above before season starts.

Thanks,
Fitz

Manny...a great Hanukkah gift idea for your Jewish friends who ride. Can't tell you what I'm getting you for Hanukkah, but let's just say it's vegetarian.

Cheesh....most of the bikes a lot of us ride are overkill...

if you don't want one cus it's overkill for you, fine!

....let the rest of us poseurs decide for ourselves, eh!

I'd be curious what price a 'group buy' would get us.

And, for me, the Base one is fine....the others are definately overkill

In the end IM not sure this would work for me as the maximum speed reading is 218mph
