After a first trial a couple month ago I fugure out a couple of desing "flaws"...

The loom was working properly but it didint add the"professionnal finish" that I add in mind

So I put it in a box .    That just a "first draft" of the box just to get the proportion/desing whrigt .  The pupose of the box is that I dont want anything to come in contact whit the wires to reduce the risk of short... and it looks cleaner

Nice. Where did you plan to mount that when it's done?

Did you find the stock speedometer sensor worked with the motogadget gauge, or did you need to use their sensor?

After trials and errors ...  the best place to put it is at the back under the seat where the old fuse box used to be.... it's important to keep it away from the heat of the motor.....

the wires will pass into the frame to go all the way up front  just behind the stering


I use their sensor ,  I've empy out the gearing that was in the original speedo at the weel... drill a hole in the speedo spacer... and fit the motogadget sensor in it ... And put sillicon on top so it's all sealled


I'll take a few photos today ... but after using that speedo for a couple of months I really works nicelly

The funiest thing is that one of my friend bougth the motorsope tiny... he as a monster and he ask a guy that is cutomising is bike ( I wont name him, ha has a reputation in Quebec ) said that it was imposible to put the speedo at front weel becose ther was no place for it ....  my friend  said ok and they put the speedo at the back weel...  [roll]..    

You sould have seen the face of my frind when he saw that I did it and the well known customiser guy coudnt  [laugh]     ;D

So here it is ...



The magnets hare place in one of the brake disk bolts   ..the hole fits just whrigth... I've put 2 magnets on top of one another to get the whrigth distance so the sensor could pick up the signal

Yup, there's a grim satisfaction when you can do something the professionals can't. Nice clean work there. So you just fit the magnet inside the hexagonal opening of a rotor bolt? That would be a happy coincidence! I'll wait until my kit arrives and see what I'm faced with before I shower you with more questions.

Thanks for posting the pics so quickly!

Just  tring out to get a sense of size and fitting ... Yepp.... that LFX-18A1-BS-12  shorai battery will fit..

But my 5.5 " box is a little bit big...  I'll surch for a 5" box ..  that area is 6" wide

I've just got myself a cicuit box at my local electronic store....  

I've put the M-Unit in it ..

All the wiring whit the connectors are tuck away under the m-unit

There will be 5 wires that will come out of it
1-ignition
2- battery +and -
3- front headlight/ signals
4- tail ligth / signals
5- motorscope tiny wire


I've made all the soldering , Y connections , 1A fuses, M-lock backup capacitor are in the box. At this point it's almost plug and play :D

I've also got some multi strand wires  so those 5 links will be comprise in one wire for each   [thumbsup]

Now what happens when you have to take the brake rotor off?   :-\

Got the 2nd part of the drawing done ? I'm curious to see.

For the disk brake I'll take a big magnet . There not glued there so they can move .  They will stick to the big magnet when I'll put it in front ... tried and tested
The second part of the loom  starter/ battery/ voltagr regulator/ ignition mudules, coils will come in a week or two.

I have a motogadget dash.
I cant get my low fuel light working.
They say to use a resistor, which I have tried. But no joy

I also tried a variable resistor (potentiometer) to try and dial in the correct resistance, still no joy.

You being a guru and all dg100... maybe you have some ideas?   ;)  [thumbsup]

Here's the answer  [thumbsup]

I dont know if it was the one that you used ?

A    82 Ohms, 5w  resistor....  it seams that Ducati usally use a reserve indicator base on a thermistor...  

I found the info ont the motogadget site  [popcorn]

Th problem may origin from the sensor itself  [bang]
