When I was a young guy looking at custom magazines from back in the day… (including impressions from my youth)
Wow… cutting-edge… truly 21st-century-looking meters on those fancy bikes just mesmerized me.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That reaction is now coming back as I’ve gotten older.
*Though I’ll admit I’m using it on the GS1000S too… <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This is the STACK ST8130 meter I’ve always dreamed of.
This time I ordered it from a UK marine supplier. <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wait is quite long. It won’t arrive in 2-3 months.
I suspect STACK manufactures to order as well.

From a modern perspective, it’s quite an analog meter, so there’s a lot of handwork involved.

I basically prefer white panels.
The reason is… they don’t show wear as easily. Black ones tend to get damaged by heat.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time I also ordered a GPS speed sensor that’s not available in Japan.
It won’t pass inspection, but if it’s quite accurate, it might be worth having. <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, the currency is pounds, currently around 163 yen…
I’m glad I caught it at a slightly lower rate… maybe international shopping really does require decisive action.

I’m probably better off waiting for now… or maybe it’ll go even higher? Hard to say… scary ( \uff9f\u0414\uff9f) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
