    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anyone have pics of their non-stock gauge/intruments? I'm considering my options.

Thanks!

Sure thing, thanks! Are you sure you want to display that password publicly, though?
 
You should have only Guest status, with that password! Thanks.

Never heard of Acewell, but that's always been my complaint with the Electro and Veypor units. Plus, it just looks so unfinished with the space left between the headlight and the ignition.

Sorry yeah they're the Electro's. I think Acewell is the place that carries them or something.
 
The Acewell 2700 & 2800 series comes housed in a machined aluminum body that is teardrop shaped. I think its a good balance between new tech and not-so-new-tech looks. I tried to get the polished aluminum version, but they were out of stock at the time, so I bought the black version instead....I think it matches my bike better anyway. But the polished version would not be too high tech looking, IMHO.

And like you said, Mike, it depends on where you mount it.

Yeah, not too bad. Got a pic of it on your bike? I could never figure out how to mount a single pod so it didn't look out of place.

I don't have any closeups on this computer, but I'll put one up tonight. You can kind of get an idea from these two shots, though. My mount is an arch of aluminum sheet that is 3/4" wide and polished. It archs out from the two barclamps (where it mounts) and has the gauge centered and sitting about 3" out from the top tripple.

Don't mind HammerHead :-D:

Thanks guys! And yeah, I also expected the Acewell to be bigger. I had imagined it in the 4" range, but its really about 2-1/2" across. But you get used to it.
 
Lee, that little thing looks SWEET!

So, how simple was the Acewell to hook up? I am an idiot when it comes to electrical stuff.....
