My WR speedo (non-digital) has broken (not the cable)

Was thinking of picking up a trail tech vapor for it.

Anyone got one ?? Any problems with them ?? Easy to fit ??

They look nice and the spec sounds good, but are they really worth £95 ??

Everyone I have spoken to says they are worth the money.
Robust ... easy to fit ... does revs also ... and you can track things like average speed and max speed etc.
I am in the same boat ... WR speedo broken, with a working second hand one going for £50 + on ebay... may as well but a trailtech.

They do 2 types in understand... the Vapor (with revs etc).. or the Endurance (just speedo and miles etc)

AMAZING. The fun you will have with the revcounter is amazing. It actually turns red when you hit the redline.

Had one on a ktm, too many functions for me to learn, speedo seemed pretty damn accurate, compared to sat nav only 4mph out at 80.

Had one for a short while, easy and quick to install and worked 100%, no faults. The only thing I don't like about it is the backlight stays on for 20mins after the engine has been started or the wheel has been turned, if there was a way of turning that off or if it went off after 2 mins fair enough.

Functionally it was good though, for £90 it's worth the dough.

Ok cheers guys.

Do they come with mouting kits for fitting ? Or do you use your original speedo base ?

I don't know what you mean by that. I genuinely loved my trailtech and blabbered on about it to everyone I knew. It did however seem to get confused when you wheelied, it'd keep the rev's going but lose the speed and then magically jump from 0 - 50 or whatever and then stay at the landing speed for a couple of seconds.
