Looks like you can have your own little dyno plus a whole lot more. When you go to the link below, don't forget to click on the video link ( below Nightrider Parts ) to see what it does.
What's your opinion?

| | | If you ride Harleys....it probably be a cool 'toy', but I can't say as I would place real value on the results...

| | I never owned a Harley Pianoman and Ratboy but for the price you pay for one I'm sure this thingy is standard equipment. A "poor-man's anything" is usually second rate, at best. Still it's interesting.

| | | If you could hook a wideband O2 sensor to it and log along with RPMs and what-not that would be neat.

The only real tuning usage would be if it could log A/F ratios with a wideband O2. I would compare it to measuring the speed of a fast ball. You can buy one of those novelty baseballs that has a timer in it to measure your fast ball or you could use a radar gun. Radar gun (the dyno) gives actual speed. The timer ball gives a less precise time vs distance equals speed, which in the case of hp would be speed /a constant cubed multiplied by weight equals hp or something like that. You could get the same results with a stopwatch and calculator.

After Ratboy's comment about only Harley's, I wrote to Stephen Mullen at Nightrider and his response was the following:
It will work on any engine, from 1 to 12 cylinders. Stephen Mullen

| | It would be something fun to play with. When there isn't anyone else around to race you could race yourself.
