Maybe I can help if you help me etc.

As some might know I was at Motocheez W/S and I fitted up several digital speedometers for testing seeing what the layout of his bikes were etc..
What you REALLY should have is like what I had with me:
Terminals and connectors to suit the bike.
Correct crimping tool.
Wire preferably correct color codes - for dash to main bike loom and for the gear switch wires.
Storm needs a gear ind switch at the engine.
Magician needs a correct fuel sensor. Storm HAS NO fuel sensor but my dash can use that part as volt gauge just like the PitsterPro XTR or Shineray small X5
Storm and other possibly can get a correct fitting wheel sensor (Magician only can use the sticky outy universal style ATM with 3 bolts that have magnets on the end so no drilling of disc etc).
A couple hours to sort lengths or add in short add on loom and tidy wires (maybe I am slow?)
The fact is these cheap universal dashes are dumped on the market and mass produced but what you get with it is hard to use, wrong info often, wire missing, incomplete to suit your bike often and making a more CUSTOM setup which is much more direct fir is easier( need to DIY mount it tho) but this is not something any other seller in all China wants or is willing to do.

If you really get stuck my mate is in SLC Utah for 7 weeks and if you sent some or all the bits I could look at it help you sort the system so I also know whats needed.

So for the Storm or other bikes you have these programmable options:
Gear ind and gear ind at engine if needed.
Full near plug n play harness.
Option to have No fuel or fuel gauge
Option to use from 1 to 8 magnets (depends on sensor/type of sensor they vary a lot)
Option to set any rolling circumference of you wheel 14 - 21 inches
Volt meter displaying a number after ODO menu
I can enter in parameters for easier get up n go.

BUT this is more expensive then the cheap online prices BUT much cheaper then a USA sold unit for other specific bikes etc.

I see loads of guys have issues or spend a day or 2 doing it and not making a good job of the wires IMO so I am looking at the Hawk and Bross style dash to be able to do this (the factory is the hold up! he's not getting the idea and he is coming this weekend it seems)

Anyway theres my thoughts n details and you can begin to see it isn't all as easy as it seems.
