Wayne - VERY VERY interesting. The RX2N has always seemed nice and simple to me. I think Bimota uses them as well.

Do you have a picture of one fitted to an R-III?

Also how does it cope in bright sunlight. I use a small KOSO speedo (Digi-Dark 48mm) independently wired to a GPS speed sensor - In bright sun it's difficult to read.

But I find the Triumph OEM useless at night - the needles simply do not fluoresce as they should.
 
The gauge and LCD display is easy to read in direct sunlight, but the LED background colors get washed out on the tach.

I have installed two of these on R3s, but no photos. I will have to shoot a couple.
OOOh yes please Wayne - piccies.
