A Trailtech Vapor is an electronic aftermarket speedo marketed towards the adventure touring riders.

It is a good speedo, a good clock and a downright awful rev counter, water temp sensor and is generally not as good as it should be for the money you pay.

Plus the mounting bracket it is supplied with is a bit of thin plastic, and is no good with Renthals if they have a cushion on their brace bar. And since adventure riders are likely to fit those bars and use those speedos I reckon thats a sh!t design fail.

So I got some of these made up in 6061 aluminium.

I probably have some spares of them, if you want one let me know and I'l see if I can find them.
