My synopsis; Upon further review, I dont think that this is an actual copy of an Acewell. The numbers on the tach portion are different from the ones listed on Acewells website (http://www.acewell-meter.com/) and the Fuel "Full" indication is not the same. Also, The indicator lights are not in the same place and they are notated differently (i.e. there is no "N" but there is an "R"). It does seem like it is built well and should last a while. Please let it be known that I am not able to test this gauge out as I dont have a complete bike to try it on. When I get to that point... I will update again.

Here's a pic of my Acewell - you're right, it's a totally different unit ......

Not sure it is. Remember that Acewell offers several different versions in the same chassis, which would account for different connectors and indicator layout. The bezel and faceplate both extremely similar, enough that I'd need a direct comparison and a look at the PCBs to determine. Jury is still out until solid internal proof can be had. Regardless....if it works it's a good deal..
 
only 10k! my motor will rev to 11k when im done with it!

sure, it might blow at that point, but damn it! i want to see 11k on my tach as it does! :D

There are so many differences in the two units that I can see just from looking at the pics - face plate font, tach spacing, LED's, mode buttons, removeable shroud, fuel gauge are all different. then at the back the Acewell cable runs inside the housing, as opposed to the cheap one where the individual wires are set in a rubber block.

Too many differences to just be a re-badged unit from the same factory.

Hope it works well, though ;)

You may well be right after seeing the pics, though I know Acewell sells several versions with key differences.
I'd still love to see the actual boards from each, would surely be telling...
 
This thread caught my eye and although I'm not interested in the gauge, how about those 3-D clip-ons these guys are selling? $69??? Anybody tried those yet?
 
I'll chime in too. Was looking at the Acewell, but if this thing delivers might have to go with it. Being anal, I do want an "N" not an "R" though.
 
I think acewell says wrap it around the spark plug wire 3-5 times...or splice it into the cdi ignition?

I'm about 14,000 miles from home right now or I'd check for you...can anyone confirm?

If not, I'll update my post when I get back home ad can check the booklet.
