Looks great. I would add a couple holes at the low point. To allow rain to drain

[@fader2701]

Your bike obviously. Taking off the important info that the stock garages provide would be a hard one for me to swallow. No odometer or fuel meter?

[@russcattell955i]

Del, still no second grinder, 1 for cutting & 1 for flap wheel ? Of course that would end your finger click change trick, what was I thinking !

[@benediktthelen9908]

Brillitant Idea, just one question: Is using GPS only tachimeters even legal? I do not know the British MOT system but my guess is that in other parts of Europe (at least) this wouldn't fly. Here in CH I would at least doubt it they would probably question how do you know your speed in a tunnel or other spots without GPS signal? Also I would add some connection to the bikes electrical system so I do not need to worry about the battery failing mid ride.

[@leighmarshman5575]

Hi ya mate hope your well ? Nice and neat do you not need to record the mileage you do ? 🤘

[@Moonfleet41]

1) Will you be able to switch it on when wearing gloves ? ... 2) Why not use a USB cable to keep it charged?

[@shelleyedgar8038]

Im currently doing research into gps speedometers after I purchased this exact one, I found some daylight especially when these was reflection off it at me I couldn't read the screen at all, I really like this one but after having mine for over a year now there was lots of cases of this. I'm only just having a quick think now about what could help minimise this and im thinking if it was housed in a recess that faced me of course something like that would work, at night time though holy moly this thing is visible from ages away and extremely clear!!

[@ladyjrider666]

Have I missed a link? Would really appreciate one. Keep up the great work. Loved your rat builds. Thanks

Looks cool, minimalist. Would have expected it well hidden and stealth, but as you said: You have to see it and handle the key. Günter from Nürnberg/Germany

[@alexclarke5026]

Hi Del, I get that you are doing a bare bones Busa but i think a GSXR 750 dash from the 98 ish era would have looked good. My one and only street fighter was a GSX 600 teapot and the GSXR race dash looked superb, probably the best bit of the build looking back. You have probably guessed I am more of a traditionalist with my bikes, that said i do enjoy seeing the fabrication work being done.

Lovely metalwork but I will be surprised if it can pick up the satellites surrounded by all that metal.

[@luc1ferblack]

i would have moved the ignition and made it keyless and mounted the speedo low. nice idea though. bet it will hammer its battery shame it cant be wired to the bike

[@Moonfleet41]

I have tested it in the car and it lasts at least 8 hours before it runs flat, so more than long enough for any one ride.. Thanks for your kind input mate, much appreciated.

[@deangentles4966]

Hi Del looks good what is it powered by and does it illuminate for night riding Nice touch with the biscuit has Penny any chocolate ones available

I hate you DB , Why because you always make everything look so easy. Great video. Collecting an HD Fat Boy next week and was worried about the speedo being in the tank and wearing a Full Face helmet so I think you've solved the problem. Thanks.

I think you have to test it because the GPS signal can be blocked with this metal case, this can happen due to the weakness of the GPS signal. Great work thanks for sharing this.

[@Moonfleet41]

The only thing you may find with no bar weights is pulling hard out of corners or slowing down into turns the steering can head-shake a little, and that can develop into a tank slapper.. i always have some if i can.

@@Moonfleet41 yep agreed. I had a fine chap once give an uncalled for opinion on a build video that I made basically telling me what I did was crap and so forth. Surprisingly he had not a single bit of content on his channel for me to check out his level of expertise so I politely replied saying that we’re all entitled to an opinion and asked if he’s ever done a build. He said no never had done a build or restoration but his family used to be in some sort of bike trade so that must be were the expert opinion came from.
