Default Motogadget stuff

Toying with the idea of getting the motogadet mini motoscope speedo:

and the bar clamp that they state fits “most Harleys”:

Anyone have experience with these? Im a little nervous spending $400 without knowing of any install issues, etc

My neighbor is building a bike, he showed me a Motogadget M Unit (?) that supposedly controls all the electrics. Not sure how the handlebar switch stuff works, did not see those parts. Looks like a cool idea, but pricey. Perhaps only one or two wires to the bars each side?

Sorry, I have no idea about the tach. Just saw the post title.

Cool, thanks Cvaria. Yeah I'm going to skip this for now. I just can't justify $400+

I'm definitely going to get the suresift.

I'm considering the chorono classic speedo and tach. I need more information. Those are wants not needs though.

Definitely cool, but I completely agree, their info is pretty vague, so pulling that trigger is pretty tough for me.

Friend of mine here in the UK used one of those to rewire his Evo Glide a few years ago. He's very happy with it. They are a German company and do some pretty hi-tech stuff.

Ive got a set of the bar end indicators from them. The detail and workmanship that can go into something so simple is impressive. Definitely top quality parts. I hadnt seen that speedo/clamp before, love how slick that is. If i were to do things again...

I have eye'd this up many times. Be even more than 400$ for me since I'd be converting from the "Custom" riser. I really like how clean it looks.

That said, like you I can't justify the cost.

ps. I wrote them to ask if it supported inputting the alarm code in event of dead FOB battery etc. It does not. None of their speedo's do.
