O.k.... just finished the project this morning....

Let me say that attaching the speed sensor to the swing arm took FOREVER.... I would reccommend not even bothering with the included super glue --- go right for the epoxy. (or maybe use the super glue to help hold it in place while the epoxy dries)

interesting note: the sensor only works on one side, the magnet only works on one side also (the sensor and magnet are polarized)....also... the 2 have to be extremely close. The manual says a max of .8" - but my setup needed more....it just won't register any speed info until the 2 were extremely close.

I ended up epoxying the magnet to the inside face of the rear brake disk...(I mounted it right next to one of the brake disk bolts) and then the sensor was epoxyed to the back side of the swing-arm.... tight, tight, fit.


All in all..... not sure how useful this unit would be on the track (although the split-track times with the track-side transmitter would be pretty cool on ocassional track-days --- not to mention the data logging and being able to display the info later on a computer....) But.... on the street - this is going to be alot of fun. I decided to get this instead of the Acumen.... Also, per re-gearing... my speedo is way off.... and this shows me my gear & gives me accurate speed info.

As soon as it gets warm here... I'll write back my thoughts on practical use...

Hopefully, if the computer end works well - I'll add the HUD...

o.k., o.k., I'll admit it - its Michigan, its cold, can't ride.... might as well work on the bike!
