[Mr_S]

I've got myself a rollcentre laptimer (T200) and I'm looking for the best place to fit it.

Ideas I've had

1. Display mounted on yokes using velcro, sensor on indicator mount again using velcro

Downside - It's bl@@dy obvious on trackdays, it leaves velcro behind when not being used on track.
Upside - I can see if my times are improving in realtime.

Or.

2. Display mounted under seat unit (Velcro again) sensor mounted on a small bracket and bolted to the subframe where the rear pegs mount.

Downside - can't see the times until sessions completed
Upside - not obvious during a TD. Nothing left visible when not in use.

Both these allow for the sensor to be used on the opposite side for circuits like Rockingham.

Any other suggestions or comments?

i have mine tucked away inside the front fairing pretty much out of sight with a tiny bit of velcro on each airtube cover for sensor. i only ever look at my times after the session has finished.

For a yoke mount some cable ties will help of put some sort of draught excluder type padding between the timer and yoke. I wouldn't just rely on Velcro on the yoke, no way would you want the thing coming loose.

In stealth mode under the seat make sure its not getting too hot and that includes the wire run to the sensor.

The sensor should be OK with velcro if its not in any strong wind blast and if you cable tie the sensor cable to somenthing then even if it did let go the sensor won't go far.

Ray.
