Translogic Dash
 

Really fancy one of these

Keefer really rates his, fitted himself

I have no tech skills so........

Has anyone had one fitted in the SE by a dealer or independent who did a great job

Thanks

I had mine fitted at JHP Coventry, mounted on Carbon to match the carbon headlight unit I have. It looks awesome. The dash is superb and Hacket set the gear change lights that illuminate to light up at the maximum time that particular gear is at. Saves over revving.

I really like it. Treat yourself

Without bothering to look, how much are they?

I looked into it some time ago and I think that they do not have the odometer and/or trip meter which technically should make them a MOT failure (though in practice they don't really check that). The trip meter is quite handy to have a sense of your fuel range too.

This is why at the time I went for the AIM MXL instead. I went for the Pista but there is a cheaper Strada option. Great build quality and I like the interface very much. Much more expensive than translogic though.

For my 996 (that is going on the road) I am thinking of getting a Race Technologies dash. Does all you need for the road (including high beam, indicators, odo and trip meter, etc). All that for £500. You can even expand it with a data acquisition external unit if you want. Dunno build quality though.

I would stay away from the Magneti Marelli as well. I had one and build quality is very basic (plastic casing when most others are alloy), poor configurability, no odo or trip meter... Only benefit was that they did a plug and play version with Ducati loom. But overrated IMO.

Just looked at the DASH2 from race Technology and it looks the nuts, but I see it has a gear indicator as well, can you hook this up on a 996 to show gearing ?

Really tempting for my 996 at that price. What are the fitting prices ish ?

there was a nice dash at the show yesterday on the harris stand

Translogic have a very nice looking dash, similar to the Marelli (although not as big!) but at a decent price - shown as £347+VAT / £399.99 inc VAT at the current rate. Although they are not suitable for 749/999 models.

More info on their website: http://www.translogicuk.com/micro-dash.htm

Thats a good price for something like that
I have a couple of Magneti MT940s one for the 955 and one on the 998 and as mentioned there is no mileage recorded and for what they cost the quality is a bit lacking.
I have been thinking of fitting a 1098 dash to the 998 Hybrid as thats quite a neat unit.

Isn't the 1098 CAN bus though? I can see all sorted of problems with sensors if you went that way, not to mention the ECU and immobilizer... although I do know someone who can sort that out for you ;)

As the 998 ECU dosn't use a CAN bus or immobiliser I can't see any issues, just have to make up a new lead from the circular connector above the battery upto the clocks and you can get the clock connecting plug and contacts from Rebecca over near Banbury who has them on Ebay

Then get a 848, Multi, hyper, S4R or S4RS rear caliper mount for the speedo drive and most of the functions you require should work

Ah yes, nice idea! All you need is a decent 1098 dash and some (a lot!) of spare time :D

Well come March 2010 I may have quite a bit of that

... or you could take this opportunity to get a Nemesis ECU in addition... :)

No idea about the cost of fitting. Haven't gone out that way yet. Need to get the 996 assembled and running first, Dash will be last thing.

For fitting you may have to get the soldering iron out, take a degree in bike electrics and plan for a few nights in the shed.... at least that's my plan.

Not sure how you program the Gear indicator on the Race Tech. On the MXL Pista, you just give a good run to the bike working through all the gears and it works it out itself based on RPM to speed ratios.

Kev,

I still haven't figured how I am going to solve the speedo pick up.

I like the above idea, but both my bikes are running the smaller Corse floating disc with small Corse caliper mount. I am sort of reluctant drilling those to fit the sensor, especially as there isn't much space for this.

I am wondering whether to make a bracket that will attach to the caliper mounts, or probably simpler yet, put the sensor on the front wheel instead with a bracket bolted to the fork bottom (I have race forks that have been drilled for this already).

Have you come across this problem?
How did you fix it?

GPS speedo

I would make a small bracket to hang off the caliper mounting bolt or some other point that you could use.

What a lot of posts! - but it's a great dash for the money

Anyone had one fitted in the South East??

JHP is a bit toooooo far from Brighton

Not as far north, but PDQ may be able to help or Pro twins possibly as they were set up for fitting FIM ECUs etc

Phillipe my MT940 currently has a bracket off the fork bottoms holding the pickup that aligns the front disc bolts

Thanks Kev

This is now fitted to my 998S Chili trackbike

At the end of the day it's just a bit of bling - oe clocks are fine (the gear indicator is quite useful as is shift light) but it just looks the bo**ox!!...................proper

Just need to try it out in Portimao........

Thanks DRS & Bigelaar for a great job.......more to follow on them after Portimao ;-)

Pics!

To right (not that I can tell when I'm at work as the web police seem to filter out most of the pics that get posted and I have to wait until I get home0

Then in return in the not to distant future I'll post pics of the 1098 Dash on a DD bike, It did look good lyesterday evening as it powered up and then flicked through the differnt modes

You think that's bad, my internet connection has been capped to 128kbps (ie, ISDN speeds!) for downloading too much!!



Tart.

Will do

Maybe a while as it all clean & tucked away in the shed but could be post portimao as it seems to be raining non stop here

Anyone fitted a A.I.M MXL dash and what was the total price with sensors etc.

I really fancy a digital dash, about the only thing left that I would like to do to my bike.
Do the Translogic ones ever come up second hand?

Will a fancy display improve your riding? Make it smoother? More progessive? Earlier on the throttle? Faster exit? Safer????????.................................

No!!

Pic of the dash...check out the shift lights

Cranker - come on admit it you want one you old grinch - Northerners eh....

One of me doing 160....in my back garden ;-)

& one of my bike for no particular reason other than she is to die for...

Of course not, that's why I've done 3 seasons of racing and now about to embark on my 4th! <polishes Class A 3rd place trophy ... again>

Nothing wrong with wanting to make your bike look nice, even if it doesn't make you faster.

She sure is lovely Chef.
If you ever get fed up with that horrible dash.......
