Hi,
I bought a Vector after the original odometer on my bike failed. (opened it up, it was made of the cheapest plastic parts imagineable and they cost £130 or so new!) Vector, in comparison, is much cheaper and very nicely made. I'd definately recommend.
Matt

Hi Matt!
What was the "bike model" reference for that Vector Kit?
did you get the Engine Temperature sensor separate or was it included?
If you could post me a picture of the Vector in place I'd be really thankful

Thanks for responding. Just wondering if you went for the generic-standard-forks model and whether you had any problems fitting it. Cheers

Why do you say it's useless?
You need the vapor computer, speed sensor, bolt magnet, Raptor700 tach cable(the one with a resistor) and 12mm air cooled temperature sensor.
Also, you'll need to make a way of getting it fix to the front headlight bracket or something similar.

Keny: sorry about that, I must've read wrong.....
Cambelt: Well, I've fitted the front forks from a 2002 YZ250...but either way, either with the stock or the YZ front forks you will need to fabricate a small bracket to fit everything nicely..
You need to have some basic skills with a soldering iron so you can make the right electric connections..
Just one more thing... I had some pieces of scrap fiberglass project laying around and I cut it, made a couple of drill holes so I could reposition the ignition switch to the right of the trailtech vapor computer...
