Yeah, the HUD is cool. This company is really good. I would definitly buy something from them again. Great customer service like i said. They are a Canadian company which is cool too. They have a warehouse in the states though, that way buyers in the states dont have to wait for customs for shipping  :thumb:

If you click on the sportvue logo at the bottom of the page, they have videos of it in action.

Loving the heads up display one tho. Sure that would hurt the bank book a bit.

Speaking of HUDs, I am actually developing a HUD for motorcycles - the name of it is motohud.  Thats right, you heard it here first.

It is still in Alpha stage right now but I hope to move it to Beta by the end of the month.  What does that mean for you, well - I will be releasing this project on SourceForge.  I have been developing the system for quite some time now so its about ready.

Here are some basic features of MotoHUD
* 320x240 LCD screen mounted inside the helmet
* Customizable GUI that displays your speed, tach, trip, and time.
* Multipurpose computer for easy expansion
* Plays music (MP3's, OGG, wav)
* Eventually GPS
* Eventually Radio chat rooms

The veypor looks pretty cool especially for a product you can purchase off the shelf; however, MotoHUD is the next step for automobile information handling.

I have a GS500F so MotoHUD will be demo'ed on it.  I'll post back when I get the project up on the web (via sourceforge).

I saw the sportvue HUD (300USD) and it looks pretty kewl.  What's the scoop on the motohud?  Where is it going to pull it's information from, or is it going to require a veypor system as well as the sportvue?

Despite the supposedly lousy camera, your new toy looks amazing!

Quote from: bcutrufelliwhat were your dyno readings

My readings arent accurate right now because i still need to go and weigh my bike on a scale with me on it. You need to punch in the weight in the configuration for it to calculate it properly.

The short on MotoHUD is that it uses a mini-itx form factor pc.  I am actually thinking about using the nano-itx which is the latest in small form factor PCs (90mm or something like that).  Right now it gets its information similar to Veypor (magnet switch on the tire for speed). But no, you won't need a Veypor.

Yeah,

your weight for the bike is as follows

396.8lbs+your weight +12.3= total weight


The 12.3 lbs is for a half tank of gas, 396.8 is the listed weight of your bike(dry) and then tack on you weight and put that in your new device.

Cool, let me know the horsepower.
