Has anyone tried / installed a trail tech Vapor?

FastCletus
Was looking around on the www for a small clock to put on my bike, and came across some folks getting rid of their big and bulky speedo and tach and replacing with a trail tech vapor with the signal switches.  For $150 you can go to digital, and I think it looks cool as hell. out side temp, tach, clock, speedo, and a bunch of other data shit

My question is, being this tach doesn't work from a cable like mine currently has, so how do you connect it to the coil, as my bike has 2 coils?  any ideas or thoughts

Hook it to one coil, and set the unit to 2 cylinders.

I have never heard of one before, but that is how you use a dwell meter on one of these bikes, and the tachometer works on the dwell meter.

I have one on the water buffalo. I love it. But the tach is famous for not working properly out of the box. The manufacturer recommends to add a 600 ohm resistor in the line to make it operate if it doesn't work right out of the box. Something I've been meaning to do,but havent gotten around to yet. Mainly because I'm just simply not worried about that tach. Everything else works like a charm.
