Not a lot mate. Did it to my CBR pretty easily. What does it have that your Trumph, does not have?
EDIT: I had a 3510, I think.

Pet hate that.
Spelling bought as brought is irritating, saying brought instead of bought makes me want to bite the offenders nose off.
Generally easy enough, but I'd ask on t595.net to see if there's some complication like the clocks being multiplexed with the ECU or whatever. I think it should be relatively easy though.
Bear in mind some of those aftermarket dashes aren't very waterproof.

seriously guys...are we gonna turn each and every thread into a grammar and spelling issue before we move on to addressing the question posed?
If you understand the point being made then please let it go and move on. We've had plenty of spelling and grammar threads on the forum recently, if you come across a pet peeve of your then how about resurecting one of thos threads and posting it in their instead of making the OP a point of ridicule.
I've said it before and and i'll say it again....THIS IS NOT SCHOOL, WE ARE NOT HERE TO BE JUDGED BY OUR SPELLING OR GRAMMAR, WE ARE A NICE BUNCH WHO GET ALONG AND AS LONG AS WE ALL UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER AND DONT RESORT TO TEXT SPK 4 A HOLE PST DEN DERS NO ISSUE, OK.
I really am getting tired of it.
For the record, i too have some pet peeves like people saying " i would of.." instead of "i would have" but you dont see me pulling people up about it all the time do you?
So please either cut it out or dont answer the thread at all if it bothers you that much. I know most of it is tongue in cheek but when almost every thread i look at has a degree of it in it it just gets very very tiresome.
And if anyone is thinking of quoting my post and pointing out spelling or grammar mistakes, feel free but get ready to get some points for it.

I figure I'm perfectly justified in telling people their spelling annoys me if I'm going to make a useful reply at the same time.

not aimed entirely at you YC, just happened to be this thread at this time that made me post that.
if you figure thats the case then dont be surprised that i figure it my right to edit posts as i please too.
thanks......
so can anyone wire up. i looked on t595.net but find the forum a bit messy to navigate around.
Plowsie do these work of the normal speedo do you know or is there aything else required.
Waterproof not an issue for me YC as i dont ride in the rain.........My bike should tell you that

Well there are ways you can do it mate.
Best thing to do is to speak to the guys at Quadtech (I did) and ask if they have a converter for your speedo cable. They did for my CBR which saved me a lot of hassle for £7 :lol:
so i have decided this is the next MOD. Will anybody help me fit this? Im willing to pay you for the time used and if need be ride the bike somewhere. will be speaking to the guy at quad tonight and then ill decide what one i will buy

if need be ride the bike somewhere.
Even if it is raining? ;)
I would find a manual for your bike and copy the wiring diagrams here, then I can tell you how much hassle it will be.

Mate, it wouldn't be that hard to do it yourself.
These are the wiring diagrams for the bike. believe this is the wiring diagram for the guage or somehing similar

Personally I would keep the OEM connector intact (fill the end with grease to preserve it), and piggyback connectors on any wires (properly, with solder and heatshrink).
That way you can just unplug the trick dash and bolt old back on it you want. Minimum hassle.
Got any pics of the bike?

Speedo looks almost certainly a cable type, so you can get rid of the cable, leave the drive in the wheel (or replace it with some spacer if you're concerned about weight)
You'll then have to put a magnet on a wheel and line the sensor up with it (these almost always come in the kit)
The tacho should be easy enough, so should the rest of the idiot lights. The only one you may possibly have a problem with is the FI light, but since the rest of the dash is so simple I seriously doubt the FI system will care.
Coolant temp, maybe the stock sensor will work on your new dash, maybe you will have to fit another somewhere.

Those fairings actually carbon or has someone just gone mad with the chavver tape? :-P

Like I said before, if you speak to the guys at Quadtech they will sort out a converter to actually make use of your old speedo cable (Thats if you want. Because often a lot of people that have used the Acewells, have often upgraded the magnet that gets supplied), it's what I did and was so much easier.

the whole bike is actual carbon. cost over 3k to have done and thank god it was not me who paid!
any takers on a installer of some gauges for me. i really dont know what im doing...with winter approaching the bike is tucked up in its blanket now so ideal time to get this done

blueto mate may i say that its worth the 4 hr trip to see the young yc he knows his **** back to front, as for the mod itself some things to be aware of (i had one on the SV N)
measure the distance from brake disc bolt to 3 inches past where you want to posistion it ,this means when the kit comes you can check sensor cable length (which are normally 2 small btw) also factor in where and what your going to mount it off and inform the shop of this before buying (this saves massive problems later) ,get extra glue for sensor the orginal pads genrally dont like any water so make sure when its on it stays on
