No not particular,, but it appears that Scorpio is the motorcycle alarm company to use. I found out LONG ago, that locks only keep honest people honest. If someone really wants your stuff,, they WILL get it. So I just try and make it as difficult as I can. You can also get the GPS tracking, but that will cost more. Oh well, I will ride and keep my bike in view, but I am not going to worry about it.....

Here is the concept drawing for mounting my Trail Tech Dashboard to the new triple tree. Its no wonder the bike isn't done I keep adding stuff i did't know I would need.
This is what I am mounting to it.

I removed the guts to the OEM pressure sensor drilled it out to 5/16" and tapped it for 1/8" BSPP. Here is the finished modification, looks like its stock to me.
The sensor I am using connects to my existing Trail Tech Vapor.
I do not recommend this mod without installing a pressure gauge. I am using the port above the points cover to connect an oil pressure gauge. Knowing you have oil pressure is much more important that know oil temp.
Here is the link Oil Temp Sensor

The Trail Tech Vapor, I have been using for 2 years. It works good for what costs. The RPM feed back can be a bit tempermental. It has an induction wire but it did work well wrapped around the spark plug wire. I have mine connected to the + side of the coil. I need to insulate it some how so it doesn't pic up signal from the other coil and it may be more consistent.

It certainly has. $300 was a great deal. It started with fresh gas and a battery. I felt bad for the guy I bought it from, his wife made him sell the 3 bikes he had. The KZ was in the roughest shape. Had been sitting in the corner of the garage since 1986.

Ya me to, I am waiting on the graphics guy. I can't paint until I have the badges. I am doing base coat clear coat and only have so many days I can wait to apply the cler.
