Acewell Speedometers

Anyone have experience with these all in one speedometers? I am looking at this unit:

My Trail Tech Vapor works great but it won't read the signal from my new ignition correctly. One of the cool things about the Acewell is that it has a speedo adapter that plugs right into my GSXR forks. Secondly, it will work with my ignition.

Feedback welcome as always.

I got one for my 750 Twin but in the black plastic case. Looks good (for the look I'm going for) and weighs nothing.

I haven't got the bike running yet so can't say how it works on the road. I did wire it up to the harness and power it up and programmed all its little functions. Documentation is wonky in places but if I figured it out then just about anybody with opposable thumbs ought to be alright. The display is small but quite readable, remains to be seen if its still readable at 7000 rpm of course.

I'm going to switch it over to the right and put a cupholder for my beer on the left.
