Gauge choice
I've searched up and down and gotten a few answers so I'm looking for users reviews or insight guidance. Basically I want a nicely small installed gauge for my street fighter look hawk. Worried about fuel indicator and water temps.
Basically looking for someone to make up my mind for me because I can't hah

I've read good things about Koso. Veypors tend to have varied results.
I've used bicycle computers (speedos) in the past and they are tiny and work great. You can track fuel using mileage, just fill up at every 100 miles.
You can get LED temp sensors and battery sensors and mount them elsewhere.

It depends on the bike computer. Road bike computers read higher than mt bike computers.
I had a Cateye Enduro 2 ($15) mounted to my dual sport years ago and it wouldn't read over 65mph, but i didnt't go faster than 65 on the freeway with that bike, so it worked fine for me.
Just depends on the type of riding you do, and the bike you do it with.

well i made up my mind by buying an 05 r1 so now the hawk is going to be my in town wall shaker. I am going to use a vapor most likely due to size and just keep track of 100 miles or less. wont be many long trips on her anymore.
Thanks guys
