Anyone out there tried one of these on their quads? Fabbing a temp mount and wires to give it a try.

I tried mine on my Sportsman. I could not get it to zero out correctly because of machine vibration. I would like to try again on my Sport but need to find a spot or build a mount to ease the vibration before take off without being so soft that it reads inaccurately once you launch.

Good point, didn't think of that. With the race mod and hard mounts, this would really be a prob. Hmmmm, maybe a visor clamp on heads-up display? lol

Mine came with a suction cup that I stuck on right over the light.
Then I used duct tape for added support. The problem that I had was
not knowing the exact weight. This device when used on a car, 100lbs
one way or the other probably doesn't make alot of difference, but
on a quad 20-30 lbs. could make a difference in the 0-60 mph or
the hp readings. So, I used the manuals weight and added my own
personal weight. After I got it to zero out I got two back to back
hp readings of 15hp. Thats on a stock TB. I guess thats about its
actual hp with drag and all the things the book talks about added in.

I'll mess around with it again this summer and let you all know what
I find out.
