Yet more stunning motorcycle porn by Larry... :clap:

Maybe you should change your business name? Haha :p

Paul, that Acewell does look the goods. If I get one of my "optional extras" done that I want to on my 450, either that or the round one would work on mine, however that particular one definitely will make the gauges far less intrusive.
 
I don't mind the hijackin as long as there is motorcycle porn involved...:D
 
The Acewell guys always have a stand at at every annual Tokyo Motorcycle Show at the Tokyo BigSite Exhibition halls. The folks at the stand made it clear when I stopped by that they had a wide variety of models and that their stuff was quite versitile and could be adapted to any situation. They have a dramatic way of demostrating how weather proof their guages are...every year there's a Acewell guage cluster happily blinking and indicating away while submerged in a fishtank complete with tropical fish swimming by.

I may have some of the brochures left over from last years show. If I can find them I'll scan and post them. Giood stuff and pretty reasonably priced I thought.

Thanks for passing this on Chris, it's good to know what a product is *really* like and how the people making it see it themselves. I'm definitely giving the Acewell some serious thought, I'm just not sure which one to tell my wife to buy me yet :)

And if you find the brochures they would be great to see too!
 
I decided on this particular Acewell gauge

If I put a Quater on it you would apprecaite how small it is. A neat but very modist offering.

That is a good look while maintaining the period appeal but upgrading the operations.
Got any of it on the bike?
 
+1 on a pic if you've got it on yet Mark.

That's the one I was eyeing off because of the traditional round shape...

OK, OK, OK guys. I'll try and put the gauge on temporarily so I can get some pics for you guys this weekend. I'm a long way from needing it, but I'm curious too.

That'd be grand, would like to see if it's going to be too small to be practical for me...

You guys have less paitence than my wife;)

So at great expense to my project timeline (ha, ha), please see below a few images of the Acewell semi-installed and attached to 12V at no extra cost. Origional gauge bracket in background.

The pics dont show it so well, but the guage has a nice blue backlighting.

The pick-up magnet is pretty strong.......

and for completness, the sensor (Lighter is for some size perspective.....
IMG00192-20120121-1123.jpg


The cable length on the pick-up is not long enough to run the sensor to the back wheel which is where I will attempt to install the speed sensor....much later.

Hope this satisfies your curiosity

Thanks Mark.Was thinking they're guage with analog tach.That one seems pricey.This may fit the bill.Long way off right now:-\\\
 
Awesome Mark, thanks! Sorry to halt your speedy progress on the project :p

But seriously, that is a lot better than I thought it would be and I reckon that might work just nicely for what I want.

Did you get the 2853 or the 2853AB black one? I was thinking the basic 2853 would suit me fine and it's also quite a bit cheaper...

Pete, I have the 2853-BK at $200 (US$). There is an identical one but with a chrome outer case for maybe another $30. When I first unpacked it, it did look small, but once powered up the digital data stands out well and I believe it is a very usable, neat package. The instructions with respect to the speed sensor insatallation are minimal but their UK website has more info available that looks useful.
