Multifunctional Single Guage Cluster Pics

I'm pretty sure I connected to the coil primary lead. Would go check for you but I don't have the bike anymore.

Cool, thanks for that, seems lots of people have different answers, time to just fiddle and see what works by the looks.

Ok Paul, there ya go:





I'll be making a better bracket to centre it, but it works like a charm and I'm real happy with it.

Tacho successfully runs off the negative side of the coil with the included 1M resistor.

anyone doing this looking to offload a speedo?

For what bike Rodman?

Nice work Pete!

Nice work Pete!

Cheers mate, will be better with a proper bracket though...

On an unrelated-to-gauge-clusters note, what handlebars are those? I'm guessing the "European" style bars?

Those are Daytona's. Too much rise for Superbikes or Euro bars.

Now I'm happy... got my gear position indicator back and added a voltage monitor to go with the Acewell:

Damn Pete that looks good all kinds of futuristic... GS love...lol. I like it. I would never have thought to lay it out the way you did but it works really well. Good job my brother from down under.

Cheers Paul! Not what I originally envisaged but once I laid it all out and worked out what clearance I had between the ignition switch and fly screen it sort of designed itself in the end, but I'm really happy with it now and that Acewell is just awesome.

I know it's not quite in line with the theme of the bike, but it's somewhat '80's science fiction style

hey Pete, how is the acewell travelling? was it an easy install??

im about to upgrade my units i think... dont like the big high up bulky stock ones on the low cafe stance i got.

Mate I'm happy as Larry. It sits outside in the sun all day at work and has been through rain and hail unscathed.

Probably the only issue is in bright sunlight it can get hard to see the indicator LED's but I can live with that.

As far as the install goes, the hardest thing is finding a good location for the speed sensor, so I just copied the idea of the bracket they showed on their website and it ended up not being too hard at all. It even looks half decent with a few coats of satin black spray paint too.

Just do yourself a favour when hooking up the tacho signal, don't do what others do and try to hook the wire straight to the negative of the coil, make sure you use the included resistor as that made it work reliably first time out.

If you look through the Acewell forums you'll see heaps of issues getting it to work, but every time the answer is the same... use the resistor provided.
