    I see there is a xr650L version. Wouldn't that be just plug and play for the dominator?

    Thanks for the info and link raymo.

    Though my speedo is working at the moment so just wanting the temp reading really. So looking at this:

    Trail Tech Products Limited Temperature - Trail Tech Products Limited

    It has a spark plug sensor option, so that could be done to this as well?. How is it done?.

    Thanks.

    Have found an RR dipstick temp gauge for 88-94 models. Maybe the same as HG have/had?.

    Didn't find it before when I searched, but never mind .

    another 30-50 quid and you get all the other stuff... speed , revs and gearchange/ warning lights

    the spark plug otion is simply a frying pan style ciopper washer that replaces the spark plug washer , the 'handle' bit having the temp sensor so it gives you the temperature of the head ( air cooled motor )

    Thanks Ray.

    Thinking about the RR dipstick, though if the clocks pack up I'll be getting the Trail Tech! .

    Yes, I have one. Gimme a holler if you need any help.

    You need to purchase the kit for the XR250/400/600. I.e. the aircooled versions. Not the oilcooled, not the watercooled. Things included: RPM sensor, Magnetic speed sensor with universal bracket (or XR bracket, can't remember now) and ring temp sensor.

    EDIT: Here ya go: http://www.trailtech.net/75-402.html -- that's what I got!

    If you're like me and want the stock rev-counter with the added goodies of the trailtech, you can go for the other kit which don't have a rev counter and chop up the stock dashboard.


    EDIT #2: Damn, I never knew those guys got tiny temp sensors. The one best fitting on the NX dommie would be the 72-ET1, the one for 10mm spark plugs. Reasoning is that you'll use it as an oil-line temp sensor and want it as small as the crush washer there.

    No way am I spending 40quid for 4 leds and some cheap plastics. The Vapor on my bike is held in place of the regular dash with an ALU bracket. Cost me like 2 quid including the new bolts with self-locking nuts.
