ETR174 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I have some extra money and I heard about the Trail Tech Vapor system so I looked into it and it seems like a lot of people have issues with the tachometer not reading correctly or the speedometer. I was just looking to see if there was a system better than the Vapor system that has no problems and something for just dicking around with. No drag racing or anything here. I want something that is similar to the Vapor interface. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 vapor sucks balls, I never had problem with the speedo, but the tach is useless. No matter which method you use it never would read consistenly or correctly. I ended up buying a Garmon GPS and a RAM mount so i could track distance and speed if you so desire. Who the fuck can even look at a tach anyway you will end up crashing. For temp there are lots of options that are reasonably priced. couple units ive seen that have nice LCD displays and handlebar mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAMIKAZE Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I have the vapor and can confirm its crap haha the temp gauge is about the only part I can get to work correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETR174 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 ^Those two reviews sound like everyone else's lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETR174 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I am reading that the Trail Tech Vector kit is having better reviews. It has a lot of similarities to the Vapor but this shows your total distance too and it is $10 more. I think I will go with that. I already run BR8ES plugs so I'm set with the resistance.

rubberneck Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 seriously man dont waste your money. I have found that most trailtech products are OK at best.. Everything i have bought from them besides some switches i have ended up trading out for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAMIKAZE Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'm pulling mine off and will just run a temp gauge/hour meter The idea was good but not once did I look down to check my speed/revs even if they were miles off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
