If you have more time than money you can pick one up at walmart and fabricate some of the stuff your self. Wal-Mart

Good luck!

Like XCRider said, Walmart for $29.95. You can also check out their mounting pics on their site. You can order the cable kit seperately like I did, but for the initial purchase, the modded kit from Rocky Mtn. ATV is probably a good way to go. Then if you ever "total" the computer head, hit Wally World for the quick plug in replacement.

The Wally World computer is different. It has diferent functions and will not survive the vibration! Also, where do you get the magnetic bolt? Cable?

While your buying that $29 computer, you might want to think about the $1,000 Chinese quad to go with it!

In response to Thor2, I purchased my original Panoram before the Polaris version was available. As for it being different....hmmmm it tells speed, distance traveled, time, etc, everything except EGT. If it can handle what I do to a mountain bike, I think it can handle what I do to a quad...for a while. Not sure if your Portland address makes you affiliated with the company, but my quad is probably 10x that $1000 "Chinese" comment. Maybe those public relations skills need a little polishing? As for now, the computer works great. If it doesn't last, I'll eat crow, along with the dollars to replace it. We're all learning here....experimentation is the playing field and performance enhancement is our goal.

I wouldn't mind buying one from Rocky Mountain ATV, but they have the worst online catalogue I've ever seen, and they won't send print catalogues outside the US. So they won't get my business. Instead it will be Royal Distributing, Dennis Kirk, Moto-Man etc...
