Default DynoJet LCD display

So I got sick of having to hookup my computer to my bike to switch maps, and adjust fuel trims and such, not to mention it was almost impossible to do if I was out on a ride, lol... SO...
I actually have had the display for a few months now, I just now got the mount for my ZX10r so that I don't have it velcro-ed to my gas tank.




All of it is a bit "busy" up in the cockpit, if you want to call it that, but with the ability to swap maps out on the fly (cool if you want to go from "highway riding" to "goofin around on the backroads") and log what the PC is doing / seeing and a whole variety of other options... I'd say that the 250 was almost worth it. The mount being 86 was a little steep!
Only reason I say almost is because the unit feels a little flimsy / brittle. They could have used a little better plastic in my opinion.

I think just some decals for the bike now, and I might call it quits for 'modding' the bike, and work more on getting out to the track (time conflicts with work and school just did not permit this year for me to get out).

Nice. I was wondering how big that unit was.
Not bad at all!

I would have went with the stem mount if I knew for SURE that it would fit, and centered the unit a little better, but I do like the fork mount.

Word of caution to anyone who might be looking at getting this.. With the standard profile windscreen(s), the lcd display might be a little tricky to mount.

Neat feature, and main reason that I got the unit was to be able to see the throttle position and fuel % to make a little more custom maps that were a bit more highway friendly.
Right around what is a normal cruising speed for me on the highway, the unit says that I'm getting about -11 to -14% on the selected map.

Display I got from a local shop (Naef Cycle), and the mount I got from SJL Products (motorcycleradar.com)
