Tripmaster

How easy is it and what is involved in fitting a tripmaster to an RD04 ?

Anyone done it ?


Thanks


Chris

Re: Tripmaster

It could be done with a little electrical knowledge and a truckload of money.

Not done it, but you will probably need...

  • To buy a good working Tripmaster in the first place.
  • To modify the wiring loom.
  • To buy and fit new clocks, as they are smaller diameter and the speedo contains the sender for the Tripmaster.
  • To buy and install a suitable front subframe to hold it above the clocks.
  • To possibly buy and install a new front fairing if it doesn't all fit underneath.


Not that easy really!


You could always just buy and add a supplementary computer like a Trailtech Vapor HERE


Good Luck



Bob

Re: Tripmaster

Seconded on the Trailtech Vapour. That's the cheapest option and gives far more info than the tripmaster anyway.

As BobA says, you'll need to source parts from the XRV750N - the last RD04 model. The clocks are an all-in-one unit so it's not just a matter of replacing the speedo. You will need the subframe too but the fairing cowl is the same. As the XRV750N only ran for a year, these parts are scarce used and cost an arm and a leg new.
