Aftermarket digital speedo/ trip computer reccomendations ?

Post by hondahawkrider » Tue Jan 29, 2013 11:17 pm

All,

Has anyone any experience using aftermarket digital speedos. My KTM 620 which is about to go thru inspection, has a digital computer/tripmaster. It's the big square block on the left in this pic

It's dead, ergo it won't pass.. The OEM replacement, if you can find one is stoopid expensive, even with %25 off via ktmtalk, its $600 bucks, and its outta stock.. My dealer says they can find one, but it will around a grand YIKES!!!. Uh no... That and they were notoriously finicky and unreliable, so I'm not paying that for something with a history.

So I was looking for advice/experience on after market ones... I ran a trailtech on my KTM SXC a few years back, and it was ok, but it wasn't the easiest thing to read and deal with...

Any suggestions

Thanks in advance

Acewell gauges are square and might fit into that space

I'd be glad to support dualsportarmory, but I don't see this model on that page...

Got ya... The acewell stuff looks nice, but it appears the KOSO will fit right into the same space that will be left by removing the tripmaster.
