Just found this on the net.
http://www.banditmania.co.uk/Site_Map.htm
Its also listed in ebay

What do you reckon? Looks like another good option. It does speed and revs. Not sure if revs are programmable (it has shift lights and im sure they
are programmable in 100rpm steps). It says it has blue led backlight. Powered from 12Vdc. Has it all without the expense of datalogging.
I wonder what the fuel sender resistance is (probably 100ohms again).
I cant wait to hear your views or other questions i havent thought about yet. The ebay site is available for questions.
Looks good if perhaps a bit small. Still a good size but probably would be better at 150 wide by 100 tall.
I think the fuel is for low level warning only not a meter ?
Not keen on the clip on spark plug tach signal though.
Might consider one of these for the Gemini.
i think the tacho signal is clip on and also from coil. I need to have a better look. Size could be an advantage - visibility thro wheel or mounting
on the wheel.
Im in touch with the distributor to get some more feedback. Hopefully they will log on and answer direct to here.
Just for the record - i have no personal or commercial links with this company (unless they offer!!). Im just looking for a lowish cost alternatiuve
to clocks as i cant afford digidash2 right now.
Cheers,
Darren.
Looks good. Just need more info about senders. Comes with magnetic pick up...only concern is that it will be fixed to suit the Bandit gearing and not
adaptable for different gear ratios?

Oh yeah...missed that! Obviously didnt read it very well!!
Acewell, the Manufacturer's site
Does anyone already have experience with this dash?
What is the issue with the sensor for the rev counter being clip-on, seems like a simple but effective approach to me, what have I missed?
The one on ebay says you enter the wheel size to get the speedo reading correctly.

The gauge is a very good value. I'm surprised to see it was designed for a bike/ATV, though. The RPM range could stand to go to 12k or even 13k
RPM. It would be even better if the range was configurable.
For example, if a bulk of the power band is between 5 and 7k RPMs, it would be nice if that range was ephasized over the 0-5k RPMs.
I also think the RPM graph could be smoothed out and not make such an abrupt 90 degree turn. Still, do keep us posted as to the results of your
conversation with the manufacturer. For the money, this shows a lot of promise!

The ace series clocks have been on here (locostbuilders) before. They do a range of digital dash's some of which are more suitable for our
needs.
I do keep thinking about them as they do offer a complete all in one solution. The only issue i have is with the rev counter, i've got a
crossflow so only want it to go to 7000ish, therefore it wastes a lot of the scale....
hmmm, just thought, if i clipped onto two spark splugs i'd be doing to 12,000 which would be better on the scale........ perhaps not
They seem to do a round type too. If I'm not mistaken, the rev-range is much smaller. Maybe that's of more use?!?
when i first looked into this i found a web site from the manufacturer (i think) and it listed all the possible options you could get (there are
lots)...
can't find it now of course
