      I was just perusing the Gixxer forum and came across this. Add this to the list of possible cluster replacements. The base model Veypor is slightly more than the Koso. But has more functions...

        I have seen those before but not met anyone who's used one. Uglier than the KOSO & Acewell but a lot of functions.

        It doesn't have an actual fuel gauge - has some "guesstimater" unlike the others which do have guess. The Koso has temperature. The Veypor has gear indication & a bunch of other interesting (if not especially useful for me) features.

        I guess with the ALLY Case & indicator lights it's an option....



        Got some feedback from Koso - they do cover all duties etc in their freight price.

          Dan you might try contacting Katman about those units, all the different ones, I am pretty sure at one point he was installing a couple or trying a couple out on one of his sweet ass Katanas..

            Copy of recent communication with Koso:

            Can you tell me how long standard shipping is to the address below please. Will it ship from the US / Canada? 8 to 10 days by regular UPS service.

            Will there be any duties due on top of your selling / shipping price? No, we pay all duty fee and brokerage fee, so you don't have to pay anything else.

            Does this model have a gear indicator? No there is no gear indicator on the XR-SR

            My bike (1983GS750ES) is not water cooled, will the water temp indicator work with an oil temp sensor? The range seems sufficient. Yes the temperature sensor can be use on oil temperature without problem.

            Lastly how do you pick up signal for Tach? My existing speedo has an electronic tach so can I use the stock output to connect to this gauge set? We use different way to pick up the RPM signal. Please check this link and you will get all details:

            http://www.kosonorthamerica.com/fCMS...t/BB017B00.pdf


            PJ - I'm guessing their point about changing to "R" type plugs & shielded leads would also help the tach on your Acewell... It's in those instructions somewhere.

            I'm definitely in two minds between the Koso XR-SR or the Acewell...

                  One of those Koso GP style speedometers along with a few others were at my local powersports store on clearance in the back from $350 to something in the neighborhood of $150. I can get more info if anyone is seriously interested (considering they're still there). I can get it and flip it.

                      I was looking at the trail tech vapor but this one may fit the bill better

                        I have a deep urge for one of these. They are pricey as hell though.

                              I'd eventually like to make a GS cafe from a mid '70's 700ish bike, and I think I'll have to buy one of these. Almost $800 dollars though! I like the M-unit and the M-lock on their website. Electronic fuse/relay/flasher replacement, and a RFID ignition lock. Thinking about those for the 1100. I really like the glass tube key you can sew into a glove fingertip, for the RFID system.
