movie ? umm.. has no sound, but video does indeed play.

not industrial anything. 7" LCD off ebay. everytihng is custom made. I will admit it runs winxp tho (altho i use litestep shell replacement to fix it up a little).

The digital stuff works, its all hooked in. I currently run a Megasquirt2 on the bike. So i dont use the 4UN computer at all. everything is 100% controllable.

the dash itself is only a "display".. more or less what all TRX dash's have. You can cut the dash off and the bike will still run without problem.

But yes, ive encountered a few problems, and ive worked thru all of em. Soon as it stops raining here ill have some on board footage.

on topic, anyone tried those TOM-TOM bike specific GPS ? ive seen holders on bikes before, but never seen them in action / met the owners, so dont know how well they work / intrusive to the dash.

Speaking of which, i could prolly sell my old billet dash.. meh. might put it on the trophy cabinet in the shed with the array of other things ive done / changed.
