Ooooh, that's nice!

I would like the speed in the box and the RPM w/ the needle.

... and MPH (obviously)

Look at the top link. It does mph. And three different backlight colors. And three different levels of brightness.

Oh, wow, I failed miserably. I guess I should look for links instead of judging by one picture!

Now... only to convince the wife that this is a much needed upgrade for safety reasons!

LOL the clock is a safety feature to save you from her wrath because you got home late... And the clock on your phone doesn't work...

Maybe?

Sure you can do 170.
Just bolt on every piece of overpriced "performance" tat you can find, then get yourself down the local bar and consume copious amounts of truth serum and pretty soon you'll be doing 170 uphill into a headwind no bother at all.... hic...

Pull a fuse that powers the stock speedometer and tell her you need to buy a new one.

Has anyone on these forums actually had one of these installed? I am concerned that if I order one, no one will know how to install it here because they can't read English and I suspect the instructions don't come in Thai. I am mechanically inclined, but when it comes to electrical and reading wiring diagrams I am pushing past my limits. In reading some of the reviews it seems that English is a second language for some of the those who posted, but from what I read, maybe not all of the features work ... or they haven't been able to figure out how to hook them up to work.

If anyone has installed this, can you offer me some advice on how easy or hard it might be? Thanks.

It's the carbs. They look like Amals which have ticklers.

I just found a shop in Bangkok that imports and distributes these and also installs them. I am fairly confident that I will get one installed when they get them back in stock. I'll post pics and a review.

:? Amal? Why Amal? Amal is beautiful. Amal is hope (in Arabic). 2yous I cannot connect the dots.
What's-it mean?
