does anyone have any feedback on the vapor dash?
both good or bad?
i see they make a new black version, and with a few small hid's mounted on either side it would make a nice set up for night riding.
any thoughts.

i never liked my vapor, it told me too much info that i didnt want to know. and everything important was small and i had to stop to read it. it was easy to install and set-up tho

Had 2 of them in 12 months on my WR under warranty cos they kept crapping the display, but apart from that they seemed good

dont know, worked one ride, the next day i went out and the screen had crapped itself. i dont think vibration was an issue because i had mine velcroed down. i think it was heat.

probably about a year and a half ago.

in that case, no. the temp is right up in the corner in about the same size text as what your reading now. not very handy if you want read it on the go.
as for the tach, i never had troubles hooking mine up and it seemed accurate. but others can never get them to work

Had mine installed for two years and haven't had a problem with it yet. Easy to fit and fairly accurate. You can set the indicator lights for shift changes and high temperature warnings which only require a glance down to see depending on where you mount the unit.
