Saw it a few months ago while ordering new engine parts in a honda stealership after cct failure.
I promised myself 1 as an early crimbo present to myself only downside for me is need to use the supplied magnetic pick up for it to work .

It's a good job the mrs doesn't look on here or I'd be in the dog house for quite a long time she wanted a new car and I wanted bike bits ......I won :lol:
that's a quality bit of kit, I promise not to tell your misses either...... :wink:
the best bit is it can be taken from bike to bike, and it features the gear position indicator smack bang in the middle, not to mention flashing lights as you reach the redline, I look forward to seeing it mounted on the bike.... :thumbup:

I'm quite lucky in a way the mrs knows ill do it anyway so let's me get on with it but if she knew I was touching the 2k mark in the last 2 months she may change her mind :lol:
I put the tinted db screen on and she said "it wasn't black yesterday was it " I said get your eyes tested of course it was lol

Agentpineapple I have a datatool gear shift indicator from a previous bike I was going to fit but couldn't resist the complete dash :wink: Image
Next decision is to choose what colour I want the display :D

Many thanks bazza
I did consider the full belly pan but sort of killed off the original shape of the storm .still a possible tho
I tried smaller indicators but again they sort of looked out of place .
I got some clear lenses to clean up the old orange lenses the original indicators are huge :lol:
After the engine went pop I wanted to inject the enthusiasm again .Red was nice but I got bored of seeing to many red storms so went all balls out for the current design also maybe the white would be faster than the other colours :lol: and if not at least I can say I had to go slower to show it off lol
