I know your trying to do away with the bar controls but my dad wired these up on his KZ1000 and they rock. Im getting some soon for myself. They make one for the throttle side too i believe. The turn signal switches and horn buttons are the tricky part i think.. You can always find new ways to wire up start buttons though.

The Vdc gauge may not be an issue for what I'm really planning on is this.... Just depends on how I mount the mid pipe O2 sensor and keep it hidden under the engine.... :evil:

This is what I truly want to do....

I've always liked this setup. Its a ZRX 1100-1200 has a mechanical speedo though.



Here is a home brew computer that someone created for a scooter that could be migrated to a Motorcycle

www.janspace.com/b2evolution/arduino.php...0/06/26/scooterputer

For my setup I would eventualy like to use an arduino microprocessor to read all of the engine sensors,rpm,temp pressure etc and add a gps ( for speedo ) and bluetooth. Then use a small android tablet to read the data from bluetooth and display it and have it mount where my gauges are.

Hey Marky....

Basically a combination of things...
One being the original controls are old, weak conductivity, bulky on the bars etc.... With the ZX636 brake reservoir, leaves little room for right hand control. Yes I realize I can get new controls but I'd like to clean all this up just the same and I definitely want the AF/R gauge included...

The other as you mentioned, keep it clean and simple.... ;)

The last being to see if I could accomplish this without being over the top... :blush: GAY!... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Ok, here's where I got today...
NOTE: Don't get hung up on how I have it mounted in the pipe, this may (or may not) be temporary... :laugh:
