Interested in a digital dash myself, only thing that worries me is the getting the rev counter to work properly, anyone managed to sort this. Would love a translogic, they're gorgeous!

You shouldn't have a problem if you following the wiring diagram for your bike. It's well worth the money if you grab a Translogic! Only thing is that you need a dyno to calibrate some of the features.

What features do you need Dyno for?

Only really need, Revs, speedo, Temp and gear would be nice.

You would need to calibrate your MPH/KPH so the speedo sensor can pick up the correct revolutions from its point of reference. You would also need it to setup your gears as well. As for the the RPMs, you can do that on the fly. Temp sensor is just connected to the thermostat housing.

If you don't have a dyno you can use, you can set it up on the fly with a couple of buddies and a front and rear stand with tire blocks. You don't want your bike flying off the stands. You would also need to take note on how many RPMs your bike is doing during a 30MPH run so you can manually calibrate the rest of it.

In the same boat, dont want to pay out for a translogic then only be able to get certain features on it to work. They do look the dogs danglies though!

How much is a Translogic dash? One of those would be trick as hell on the CBR.

If you decide to get a Translogic head unit, you'll need to take it to the shop and have it calibrated on a dyno. Here's a shot of my RVF400 in the dyno getting the Translogic digital dash calibrated.
