I had a sigma bc1400 on my zx9r race bike.. I'm currently in the process of hooking it up to the 7 but the magnet needs reaplacing.
If you want to use em for accurate speed whilst moving, forget it. The display reads a little to slow for fast accelarating bikes (having said that your Suzuki may be ok

). Its really only good for recalling top speeds, trip distances, times and the like... It is more accurate than a speedo though and the Sigma is good for 299kph...

Because he's a geek and can do such things? Heck we have a member here in Vic with a GPS and water bottle mount on his bike...

I also sell these Acewell units, they both have the same features. The rectangular one ( ACE 3853 ) is $295 delivered & the round one ( ACE2853 ) is $279 delivered.
They come with a speed sensor & instructions. The rectangle one is about 150mm x 80mm x 25mm & the round one is 63mm Diameter.
