Cheap Digital Dash

Recommended Posts

smckeown

Anyone got any sources/links ? i'm sure I have come across one of two around the £100 mark but cant find them again.

 

Closest i've got was this.........

......but i'm looking for oil pressure/temp readings too. And all for not a lot of money :)

I've seen those before, they were very cheap - I don't get why bikers get cheap digital dashes :)

 

It doesn't look that amazing, but who cares so long as it does its job!

 

I like the look of these:

That is acutally spilt into 2 bits, the rpm and speedo (about 330-350 euros) and then the lights at the bottom (109-139 euros).

 

The rpm/speedo can be mounted to a aftermarket steering wheel.

 

Can be found at:

well those cheap ones are cheap as they're basically upgraded cyclocomputers ;).

 

and i got the impression they're pretty tiny.

yes they aren't big, but the advantage is that they'll fit the standard 205 dashunit.

 

Outside dimensions:

125,5mm wide by 78mm tall

28,5mm deep

nothing wrong with cycle computers, you get lap/split timer and all sorts, i used to know someone who used one in a race westfield, straight out the box, even speedo was accurate (just dial in the wheel diameter) and since they are digital based have a speedo readout well beyond a 205's limit (999 mph lol) even have an odometer too!

What matt was talking about:

They also 'plug in' into the motec as well...the basic one appears to be 635 + VAT.

 

The AIM's do look nice :wacko:

I've got an acewell 3100, which was £70 from memory, I'm planing to retain the fuel and water gauges, and then I'm using an SPA oil temp/pressure gauge for the oil, although I'm tempted to try and fit an analogue rev gauge in there too, as the bike dash bit shoudl fit inside the speedo area, and then the whole lot should screw in to the std dash moulding.

How did you get on with the acewell 3100, i've just brought a 3150 for my car. Also plan on running a series of gauges and warning lights.
