Is that a Vapor speedometer clamped to your handle bar? If so, whats your thoughts on it? I am considering a digital speedometer/tachometer for my bike but I am torn between Vapor and Acewell.
Thanks!!

Sweet Jerseykat, how accurate is it? If you dont mind can you tell me how you mounted your magnet pick up? How you wired in your tachometer? And how you wired up your neutral switch? (I wonder because it is a ground switch light).
Pictures would be great too! I have been debating over which one to get for months now, but I havent found to much information on ether one of them.

| Wiring is simple, this thing can adapt to any bike. Luckily on my kikker there were holes in the front wheel hub that the magnet tipped screw for the speedo portion fit right into. All I had to do was thread the hole and put the screw in with loctite, then mount the pick to the right side of the fork. I am in VA right now, when I return to Jersey tomorrow I will get some pics posted. As far as I know it's pretty accurate and I have no problem reading it in direct sunlight.
