Plug and Play Tachometer

AT&T

Actually yes I do have a full deluxe gauge cluster in development which I plan to include things such as.... Tach/Speed/Temp/Low Fuel/Various warning indicators/ maybe even a learning gear position indicator

Add a Voltmeter to that !

How about an enhanced gauge with Tachometer + Speedo, and you can use it for your accurate speedo, and setup your SpeedoDRD for an accurate odometer! I've already got that in the works (Tach/Speedo) gauge, and its exactly the same size as this!
Sound good?
Then you wont have to switch anything, you'll always have both!
I'll play around with the idea of having two selectable ratio's on the SpeedoDRD, it definitly possible, I would just have to re-think how to optimize the interface to make it just as user friendly.

While more guys will probably want the tach than not, I'd be in the minority that have no interest in a tach. And I like to think things really simple, so the gauge that comes with the bike is all I want up there anyways.

You'll sell more units selling to the majority, but for me a little switch that allowed me to make my stock instrument cluster speedo accurate or odo accurate would more than meet my desires.

.........I'd kind of like to be able to run speedo accurate on the tar and then switch to odo accurate as soon as I hit the dirt.....

+1

I have the Speedo Healer but haven't taken the time to put it on yet.......when I do, I'll be tweaking the ODO because that's more important (to me) than the speedo (primary use is off-road)....... but it would be nice to have both as mentioned above........most of the time I have my GPS mounted so that's my "speedo"....

Will the pickup still keep the coil/plug waterproof?
Could you not use the injector pulse instead

Why dont you make all this blue tooth and give us a HUD goggles LOL

It will use the coil plug, and yes it will still be waterproof,
it will use OEM coil plug connectors!

Ohhhh
Got it
Your original post said Sparkplug coil plug which confused me
But I guess you mean harness to coil connector

Cool, I want one

Looks like the very first Plug & Play Tachometer prototype will be done this weekend, I'll post pics and a vid!

12oclocker,

Hope you don't spend more time making cool things for the bike than riding the bike. Well, actually I do!! Between the rear light and now this, you keep trying to suck money out of my pocket. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next invention!!!!

lol, thanks, I have plans for a Gear Position Indicator, I've already got the math worked out for it.
I finished the Tach Prototype last night, works great!! I'll post some pics and vid soon!

* wondering how I survived with the gear position indicator and tachometer in my head all these years *

Tach works! I'll post a video soon


my bike so far...

Here's the video

Wow.... our WRR's idle at 2500 RPM?

They idle at about 1700, I turned my idle up

Great hacking 12'o!

Let me know when I can get one.

Also: What's the possibility of having it perform voltmeter duty? Just curious....

you mean monitor the battery voltage?

12oclocker wrote:

Yup. That would be cool. Would be nice when running gear, etc. :)

ah to see if your overloading it, it should never change, output regulator will be between 14.2 and 14.4 all the time while the bike is running.

Very cool, I need one of these!

It goes up and down with RPMs and load. It would be cool to have it all in one tho....

Ya know, a voltmeter is not really effective, but an Ammeter is
I bet the intrepid 12oclocker could do this with a single LED, glows green when charging and red when Discharging (and a couple other minor bit's in the wireing)

Hey, that's pretty slick, looks like a great idea
I just think a voltmeter is kind of a waste of time when all you need to know is if you are charging or discharging the battery
A lot of people dont even know that a 12v battery is a dead battery if it measures @ 12 volts

I've had one installed for a few months. I posted a few pics of the install but got no replies, so I figured nobody was interested.
