Chris, you're near Hull from you profile. I know a man who can fit it for you.

REALLY?!?!?!?! Do other real people live in this area? Any ideas on price?

Hi All further update, had time at work to complete the wiring loom change. Used the original Ducati Tacho/temp loom to pickup the necessary 12+v switched, Negative, Oil pressure and Tacho. Just cut off and left about 3 inches of original then soldered to Translogic loom and put sheath over it. Top job

Now to turn on and test All seams ok unit goes through test pattern, now just to make rear speed sensor bracket and fit. Then to calibrate.

that does look the biznis. Remember to keep your eyes on the road, dont go stary eyed admiring it at speed.

CMOSS, if you can wait a few days, I intend to make a bracket to fit the speed sensor to the rear brake caliper bracket. I'll keep you posted on progress/success and if ok am happy to make you one too.

Hi Yeti, I made a bracket out of some stainless today, but a little flimsy needed next guage up. Will try this one tomorrow, but yours will probably be a little better. I made a long 90 degree off the inner pinch bolt and mounted the Techtronic speed sensor to this on the underneath to pickup the disc bolt. Just flex's a bit. Need to take the bike out to try.
Have you found a good mounting point fo the temp sensor ? being a V twin no pickup point in middle, can't understand why they didn't use the original temp sensor signal all be it from the coolant, most bikes now have this as standard.

We have a big range of proxi sensors at work if this is no good will borrow one to try, they have a threaded shaft to adjust pickup distance.
Just the calibration to sort.

quality that's really coming along, very good thread
gona have to look at getting one of those when I sell my wheels,
keep up the good work and info

I finally finished fitting mine this weekend.

I fitted the temperature sensor to the bottom M6 bolt of the injector housing at the head. It works fine, gives a similar reading to the original water temperature albeit a little slower in responding at heat-up.

The biggest problem I had was finding a suitable pick-up for the rev counter. Eventually I took it off the black wire from the low tension on the right hand coil.

Fitted my speed sensor to the front wheel, utilising the lower mudguard mounting. Works well with all the spare wheels too.

I calibrated it out on the road; I fitted the old rev counter for set up purposes and calibrated the revs and gearing, then followed another bike at 30mph to calibrate the speed.

Works great, it appears the gear display works out mph pre rev to determine which gear is being used, the only problem comes when changing the final drive gearing, I guess the unit will require recalibrating.

I’ll post some pictures later.

Hi Whele, at what point ie temp does the temp start to display, mine at moment only reads at 40 C. Booked mine it for calibration at Dynojet UK.
