Until you see it in profile.  I'd entirely missed any product description that said the unit was a pod unto itself.  It raises the instrument up and angles it back where the unit will be looking the rider squarely in the face.  That's a good thing.  For a variety of reasons there is benefit there.  But this profile I'm not wild about at all.

Takes the clean line sweeping over the top of the tank and makes it bulbous.  Perhaps will get used to it after seeing it regularly.  But the first impression made me spit up a little in my mouth....
WTH!!! First thought that comes to mind is the post someone made a couple days ago about a rider sliding up the tank and loosing his "boys"... not only would that make you loose the "boys"... hell you might loose half your abdomen w/that. :shocked2:

Sorry my Brotha from anotha motha but if I wasn't honest w/you... well I just wouldn't be honest w/you and you wouldn't appreciate it. However w/that said I'll wait until all the pieces get together but right now I'd say return it and get your money back. :nixweiss:

End user electronics.  I'm assuming there is no return.  Will call the first of the week to confirm of course.  But it seems likely it's here to stay (somewhere).

The ugly heinous ridiculous bulbous tumoresque and perhaps even flatulent speedometer is no longer mounted on the exquisite SERK dash.  I couldn't stand that monstrosity setting there.  If the vendor is unwilling to take it back I'll eBay the gawdawful thing or make it a science project and see if, first looks notwithstanding, that cylindrical extension housing will come off.

That thing was nasty.  Phukk it.   :pineapple:

Glad I missed that exchange! That speedo set up was a travesty. There has to be a way to extract the speedo from the housing. The face looks great. Just needs that custom install touch. Don't give up just yet.

What about a subtle red line tire...


If this is possible for your bike (tire/wheel size). :nixweiss:

You're right... damn Google... I searched for "red line tires for motorcycles" and didn't pay attention when it came back w/that hit. :oops: :-[

Good decision on the speedo abortion.
