...I built it from separate components I had lying around or bought from eblag over the years...

...it was a "toss up" between this or a Koso dash.....
Thought I'd better try this first, just as many functions as a Koso but with a real racing pedigree Wink

Aftermarket....
I had already made a plug and was preparing to make a mould when I found this one for a fraction of the cost and effort of making my own Wink

The LCD on the rev counter is the speedo as well as loads of other things.....
much like other digital dashes. The really trick bit is the three stage shift lights Wink
All fully programmable Cool

I built a dash similar to this on my first sb6 (hundreds of years ago)......


....here...




...more functional and accurate than the original SB6 dash Wink

...Clocks finally bolted to the bike and partially wired up...





...and now you can see why progress is so slow...no incentive to get in the garage every morning with that temperature Rolling Eyes


...stripped the loom back...this could be a bigger job than first thought.
Anything that's not needed for racing has been stripped out of the loom, lights, indicators etc....





... A lot of what is there has been altered too Shocked ..the proverbial puzzle. Oh well decisions decisions...could brake the bike Shocked
Could build a new loom.
could repair this loom or I could use this loom to get it running and build a separate loom for ever thing else Rolling Eyes
Back into the warm house for a cup of tea while I think about it Wink
