Hello All,
Here's an update on the SIGMA BC400 bike computer install...have'nt
done it yet..I did put one on my mc and its working really well. I looked
under the car and I think that I have a plan.
I will buy a tiny tiny rare earth magnet and attach it to the output
shaft of the transmission..probably won't need any glue to hold it there
but I will use a drop of super glue.
I wil route the wire up through the center console and mount the
little computer in the empty hole where the ashtray goes. I can slide the
little door closed and voila no computer..slide it open and I know how
fast I'm going and what time it is. Not the most easily seen spot but
I think I will try this 'stealth' install before I go mounting it to my
dash. And this way I don't think that I will have to lengthen the wires
at all.
