Kinda...

Loving it. I think I'm going to go with the multihub, so I can add the other goodies. Plus, it looks cool...which is a plus.

Thats so bad man.. how much did it cost?

digitalbroccoli · 06-07-2007, 07:57 AM

I found it hardracing.com, some company I've never heard of for 230. I had denniskirk.com match the price, and got it there though. (they list it for 299)

I figured that a nice tach was going to run me 120 or so, so really its only 100 for the other stuff it'll do. [/justification] L)

What else does it do?

there's harnesses that can track fuel and oil pressure, and give the ability to fine tune the fuel map depending on which gear you're in.

It has the ability to datalog to an SD card, so I can see if the curves are where they should be, and I can swap maps on the fly by storing a few on the card. I like the idea of having the ability to swap in a fairly efficient map for long trips, and be able to pop my aggressive map back in for some entertaining riding.

It also gives me real time data on throttle position, rpm, load, and fuel adjustments. So, if I'm in a spot in the powerband that feels flat, I can see it at the time, and make changes on the screen to the map.

Holy crap thats awesome. What is the make/model?

DeRiggi · 06-07-2007, 11:55 AM

Damn...Does it provide lap dances and open your beer for you as well?

digitalbroccoli · 06-07-2007, 12:46 PM

its the dynojet lcd-100, designed to be used with the PCIII usb.

techgesture · 06-07-2007, 01:32 PM

ah... so you still have to have the PCIII usb as well...?

So lcd $200 + PCIII 300 = 500+ ?

jared1970 · 06-07-2007, 07:09 PM

How was the install? Pretty straightforward?

Step 1. Buy Harley 1 inch handlebar mount for 10 dollars.
Step 2. Mount box.
Step 3. Run cable to PCIII
Step 4. Enjoy.

Really easy. Heck, the PCIII only takes maybe 20 minutes to do. I spent more time pulling the one bolt on the tank than connecting it.

BillyBumbler · 06-08-2007, 12:41 AM

That's awesome. If it weren't for the PCIII requirement I'd buy one right now. They need this in a standalone version, I'd bet they would sell a ton.

d_m50 · 06-08-2007, 09:57 AM

how accurate is it as a tach? and how does it get its reading?

digitalbroccoli · 06-08-2007, 01:32 PM

from the ECU...so its spot on.

gar4mayor · 06-08-2007, 01:46 PM

now that is really cool. it should play the Knight Rider theme music every time you start it up.

There was a motorcycle/moped in one episode that they made, the tag read "KNERD".

DeRiggi · 06-11-2007, 11:40 AM

Tech, you think you can take a pic of your bike with it mounted from a little farther back. I want to order the PCIII, and i like the functionality of it, just want to see it from a spectators POV. Might order one with the PCIII
