I got my dash the KOSO rx2 .Now all I have to do is mount it.
I have done some of the wiring to test it . It dose work but I need to figure some things out . I will document the whole thing.
Mounting it is a challenge. First I had to CUT the wiring off my old dash.Now I am committed. I need the wiring from the dash to the bike . I don't like the line taps they provide . they have no weather protection.
My intention is to remove the dash and bolt a flat plate over the hole. Then surface mount the dash and a air fuel ratio gauge to the plate.
It should look OK . I am painting the sides of the dash surround black to match the rest of the bike.
I hope it works out. First thing I did was LOOSE the magnets that are for the speed sensor. I can't be more frustrated by that . I found replacement magnets but It pissed me off that I could be that dumb.

is it that easy to apply the wiring? how about the visibility, I believe the Koso RX2 is quiet small? Photo would be nice. Good luck!!

I will get my camera tonight. The wiring is straightforward if you know basic electricity and have wiring diagram.
I want to split my blinkers and have right and left on the dash. The Rx2 has two wires going in but a double arrow on the dash.Like the stock bike.
The Rx2 is small but bigger than the rx1. As it is one sided I am using the space next to it where the tack was for another gauge.
The tack is bigger than the stock speedo. And it has a clock fuel and two temp gauges.

The godfather has spoken!

Yeah I wanna see pics! So I take it your bikes' not a streetfighter anymore lol.

 

[Racer X]

It would be easy to use this dash for a streetfighter. I got it from Western power sports it for 379. Ya I know it was expensive but The shop I got it from owed me money so it did not hurt to bad.
Picks are coming.

haha the godfather has spoken hahah thats funny!

 

[pianoman]

[Practical_Rider]

That looks good. Would like pics when it is finally fixed on to the bike... Would like to see how the gaps left by the original meter is covered. Cheers

it's almost as cool.

Same company same features but different look. I considered that one but. It is a little smaller and I wanted to mount another gauge to the left so I went for the RX2.
I have every thing at work being painted black to match the bike. I sanded and filled the flat dash surround so it will be shiny.
I am still working on a wiring it up.

 

[CSBrad]

Can't wait to see this installed!

 

[Racer X]

I finished up the wiring I will post a wiring diagram. It is about as hard as a stereo to hook up. I did have to cut the wiring off my stock dash to make an adapter to hook in to the bikes wiring harness. I can always buy another dash . But I hope not!

 

[CSBrad]

Just a curiosity Q here, can you set the odometer to the mileage that the old one showed? Or will it just start over at 0? Just something I thought of while looking at the spec sheet.

 

[Racer X]

I think you can set the odo but I have not had time to read that part of the instructions. I finished the paint work . it is cooking in the booth tonight . I will haul it home take some pictures . Hope to have it together this weekend.
I also got new foot pegs from a Buell xp1200 that drop my feet an inch. But I will start a new thread with that Gordie.

 

[Racer X]

From what I have read .The ODO is not programable. I will see when I program everything else. If it is not programable then it will go back to zero every time I unhook the battery. Definitly a bummer but I can live with it .IF it is the case.

 

[CSBrad]

Oh well I guess you can't have everything haha

 

[Racer X]

I finished the dash panel. I made it out of 1/4 inch MDF sanded primed and painted . I intend to make one out of plastic when I get my new air fuel ratio gauge.

I used 2 and 1/2 and 3 inch counter sunk screws to mount to the stock location. I located it with nylon lock bolts all in stainless steel.
Then I bolted the dash directly to the panel

I will post more photos when it is finished.
