New dash/clocks for the race bike
Discussion
Evening all, what with it coming up to Christmas and having been a good boy this year, I thought the race bike deserves a replacement set of clocks. It is currently running on the stock Suzuki clocks and while there is nothing wrong with them, I fancied putting on a new shiny all singing all dancing set. Has anyone got any experience of living with the likes of HM Dash, AIM or the I2M units? Any feedback regarding installation and reliability would be handy. Cheers!
The AIM stuff does look good it must be said, especially the top flight units, but I ain't going to blow £2,000 on a dash sadly. HM are out of stock of their unit and when you compare it to others, it does look a bit like the poor relation. Maybe they have something new and even more shiny in the pipeline? I get your point about replacing it if I bin it, but I think the clocks would probably be the last thing on my mind if I bin it at somewhere like Scarborough or the Ulster GP.

HM have a whole new range of clocks. That said I have one of their race dashes but not got round to fitting it yet. obscene said:

The display isn't easy to read on the go, and the shift lifts are nothing like bright enough without being so bright, they obscure everything else you want to see at a glance. The lap timing is OK, but the predictive is a bit hit and miss, and it doesn't flash at you to tell you you've improved a sector.
The Starlane Davinci dash I have on my old bike is miles better in every way. The info is far easier to read on the go, it does more and is more configurable, and the sector lights are super easy to read on the go. They don't make one for the 2016+ ZX10R yet, or I'd have bought one straight away.
I like the look of the I2M dashes, and I've had a play around with one on my mates ZX10R, and it's very good indeed. However, the GPS is from a separate antenna you have to power and mount somewhere, and that seems a little crap to me.
Like the star lane dash, you can buy loads of different plug in sensors that can read Tyre temperatures, throttle position etc, but they're not cheap.
I'm thinking about getting an I2M as I know the guy that imports them, and I'd hope he'd look after me, but the new full colour star lane Davinci comes out in January, so I'll hang fire and compare the two
Here's a bit of footage of the Starlane on my bike working
