I have never seen one of those vapor that you are running on there. What all info does those things give. And were can you purchase and what is the price on them. I really luike the looks off them and wouldnt mind putting one on my bike. Also was it pretty easy to install. But your looks great as well did you get to ride it much this weekend.

The Vapor I have (with the optional Indicator Light Dash) gives Speed, Mileage (trip and overall) , hour meter(trip and overall), RPM in digital and bar graph, shift lights (2 levels), engine or oil temp, engine/oil temp high + danger warning lights, neutral, reverse,and high beam indicator lights, and other things I can't remember. Cost is around $107-114 for the 400EX complete kit. The optional Indicator Dash with mount is $35-39. Installation is very easy, usually less than an hour for eveything. It usually takes me the longest to figure out the neatest way to run and hide the few wires needed.

Details can be found at www.trailtech.net Great company and nice as heck people to deal with.

Got to ride a little in between heavy rain. there is nothing like a brand new 400EX, tight and SMOOTH!!

Well all I do is pretty much drag race with my ex. So I believe the shift lights and the telling me the RPMs would be the best thing for me. that way i could get down the exact times I would need to shift at.

Yeah, I have always found my bikes run smoother, cooler and more reliable when they are cleaned properly. In decades of trail riding I have never had any of the 20 or so air cooled Hondas I have owned to ever miss a beat and/or leave me stranded. I atribute part of this to proper maint. and cleaning, the rest was/is probably luck :-)

I have been using and dealing with Trail Tech for many years.

Here is a little tip for you. If you hold out they will soon be releasing a standalone Tach with shift lights. It will be very cost effective, last I heard it was going to be around $25-30 and should also have the nice bar graph display.

Do you have any timeline on when they could be avaliable. That would be great for me

I would guess this spring.

Here is a pic of how I mounted just the Vapor (no indicator dash) on my wife's 07 250EX. I moved the key down to the right and mounted the Vapor where the key used to be.
