well if you cant see it easy then it sounds like too much effort to deal with for me anyway. i can see this being an accident just waiting to happen.

Installation takes less than 30 minutes and you are never constantly looking at that thing even if it was more in view. The most important thing is that you can check
it whenever you want and put your leg a little to the side I wouldn't call it a problem either.

IBE yes you're correct in the "on the move at speed" situation but at stop lights or slow moving thru traffic it might keep you in the loop, or at start up you could get real time info on your warm up.
I'm not saying buy it or don't buy it , just saying it might not be a dead end .
Cheers mate.

My thoughts exactly and biggest factor will be seeing small changes and not catastrophic and too late anyway.
Start up, red lights and after a run will be plenty worth it to see what is going on as even the hottest of days will show up and let ya know how she is feeling. Maybe for some time for an oil change.
Ride Safe✌

thanks for the suggestions. Has anyone investigated a fuel pressure gauge? Sure would like to know when it is time to change the fuel filter or pressure regulator!
