Digital dash

Can anyone recommend (or does anyone have) a budget digital dash for my zx9 powered sprint/hillclimb striker.
It's not for the road so I only need basic info the two main ones being revs (for noise test) and gear selection/neutral. Oil pressure and water temperature would be good too. Must be waterproof and easy to see. Was planning on using the bike clocks but just weighing up my options before I cut a hole in my dash.

If you don't need speedo, but want bomb proof reliability at a budget price then get the Acewell 1100

I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Same as Russ suggests he got me to get one of them for track days.

But I then bought the 1600 for IVA both from furore as we get 5% as locostbuilders.co.uk members.

Great customer service too.

Thanks for the replys guys. Yes the Acewell looks like the type of dash I'm after. I'm running a old pro shift actuator gear change system with buttons on the steering wheel so could do with a digital display indicating which gear I'm in.

Get a gear indicator. Don't know of many low end cost speeds with gear indicator on them to be honest. Koso used to do one but I'll never use them again. Chinese crap. Although I hear they now have a UK disti my issue was 4 months for a return and refund and then the wouldn't refund the postage cost back which was £50 and the purchase postage which was £30 so actually I paid £80 for nothing plus the refund took 4 months.





Thanks

Ace 3252 does pretty much everything including gear indicator, for change out of £125 I can't see how you can buy better! It even has a pretty yellow display!

The £12ers from Ebay arnt great in my experience. I have one, depending on what mood it's in depends on if it chooses to reset its neutral position. So means sometimes starts counting from G1 or N. wouldn't waste your time or money on them, by the time I gave up trying all sorts to get it to work I realised I didn't need it as got used to knowing what gear I was in by feel.

There's a big difference between cheap cr*p & a quality product at the budget end of the market! In all the years I dealt with Acewell I think we had about 4 faulty units, the fail rate was less than 0.5%! Plus you could still get parts & service for dashes that sometimes weren't in production anymore!

Thanks for the info. My car is going in to have a loom fitted at my friends bike workshop over the next month. He's a bike tuner by trade and does a bit of racing. He thinks the best option is to wait and see what we're actually dealing with engine sensor wise before buying. In his opinion he thinks I need 3 things on a budget race dash . Revs, shift light and gear selected indicator. The shift light needs to be in line of sight when looking at the road and as bright as possible. Don't think I'll bother with the cheap stuff from China and will definitely have a good look at the acewell range. Will give pro-shift a ring and see what they recomed using on their race gear change systems.
