I am buying a new Scrambler 500, I want to put a Speedo on it. I have looked at the Trail Tech and like it alot. However I know Polaris makes one as well for the scramber that tells the hours and total miles/trip ect. However I have not seen a physical image of what it looks like, can someone please send me a pic of what the Polaris speedo looks like for the Scrambler 2002/2003. I do like the trail tech but would love to find one that ran on the electrical system instead of a watch battery.


Thanks

 

There is a speedo on e-bay right now. I personally use a Trailtech which also has hours,total miles,trip, maintenance reminders, etc. and it is alot cheaper than the Polaris speedo. but that is a personal decision so... Oh yeh, the battery will last 3 years. I hope that was what you were looking for there on ebay.

 

How good is the backlight on the trail tech, what color is it and is it bright?? Also can u keep it on or does it turn off by itself???

 

It is kind of like that indigo blue like the watches. It does cut off by itself after a few seconds, It is pretty bright though but not much for night riding. That is the only drawback I have found for It.

 

My goal is to find one like the trail tech but with a constant on backlight and one that tes into the electrical, cant figure out why trail tech doesnt make that as an option.

 

Trailtech doesnt have any Tachs on theirs do they? Thats what i'd like along with the speedo!

 

Well, I can't help you there I don't think I have seen any except for maybe the Polaris one, but I have never actually seen one of those on a scrambler so I can't say for sure. No the Trailtech doesn't have a tach on It I wish It did because I am looking to buy a tach right now. Anyway for 70 bucks It is good as a speedo.

 

$70 US...$150+tax CDN!

IM gonna keep looking! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Hmmm..theres no way to install a car tach on a bike can ya??

 

I'm not looking for a tach right now, I am looking for a speedo.

 

Well Scotts88 is looking for a tach and yes you can put a car tach (sunpro) and probably others on a bike. Do a search for tachs on this group and you will find instructions for doing so (Scotts88). Good luck with that speedo Lightman02.
