I've had my Max for a few months now and already the location of the tach bothers me. I'd like to have something up near the speedo but nothing too big. Any suggestions?
This has speedo, tachometer, clock, air temperature, water or oil temperature, stop watch, odometer. fits at the location of the stock speedo & has white back light. accurate & water proof.

Hi Firefly, are you using one ?
I was thinking about getting the black one, far cheaper than Koso and good reviews as I remember.
Yes I have one for ~ 3 years, great product, clean looking & has all the functions one needs. the shift light feature is great you set the min and max RPM, same with engine temperature you can set one to hot & the other to dangerously hot. the speedo is set to the tire circumference so it will be accurate using any size tire. the white back light is elegant too.
they don't have a kit specifically listed for max but I have all parts numbers needed that will fit max. you choose water temperature or oil temperature but not both. the price is reasonable and they sell replacement for the computer, sensors & wires. I love it & don't miss the stock speedo at all.
I was thinking about hiding the current dashboard or part of it and just use a vapor instead.
Pretty good for the price and looks great even with the extended panel for signals, neutral, fuel light. unk:
Not sure I can have all lights there, but I don't like to look down
Have a look here - I'm sure you will find something to suit.
I have an RX2n - a fair bit of work to fit but I'm pleased with it.
That front is out of a scooter right? I didn't know that speedo. Cute, and it looks pretty. Any issues installing it to run properly? Do they have speedo cable adapter? Thanks mate
Firefly
Thanks for the prompt reply. That would be good if they had a gear adapter like KOSO... That way one could use the stock gear instead of another sensor fixed to the forks with wiring allover. I hate to see wires dangling around. the cleaner it gets the better it looks... But thats my insight only...
Firefly,
You can go either way with the KOSO RX2N+. Mechanical or electric drive.
Personally, I don't see too much difference between a speedometer cable vs. an electrical wire. Either way, you've got to run something.
I'm in the market for a gauge. Brian has posted a link to the veypor site in another thread and I'm interested. Very affordable compared to other options. I was concerned with durability and mounting options. Looks like you have proved it works and can be installed cleanly. I'd like to see what it looks like from the front without a fairing.....
Thanks for your input on the setup.
Is Koso a mechanical speedo? the wire on the vapor looks clean and is not a problem, I am very please with its craftsmanship, clean & simple look and functionality, personally I wouldn't go back to big bulky round speedometer again.
its an option to consider, I am just giving my feedback on it.
