Default What's the current hotness in aftermarket clocks for a curvy?

Used to be Koso last time I looked, which was like 7 years ago... Just thinking out loud just now but I liked running my S as an N from time to time and it'd be good to do it less halfassed, so I'm going to make some changes as I rebuild it and maybe this is one. Ideally I'd like as much standard instrumentation as possible since it's road not track, I remember the fuel sender was often a hassle... Any really good suggestions?

(incidentally; what a pleasure it is, fannying about with bikes and not having to worry about putting it back on the road to get to work tomorrow! or always thinking about commuter durability and practicality. I feel EMPOWERED!)

I love my koso, was an easy install and I've never had a problem. The GPS add-on is a must when upgrading the front end, makes everything hassle free

Cheers- what model is that? Looks really tidy but still readable, I like it a lot. Does it retain the warning lights? There is ample evidence that if I don't have a fuel warning light, it's only a matter of time til I run out :P

I've got a hall effect sensor from a veypor running the speedo just now (because I moved the speedo drive to the rear when I did the fork swap, then at some point broke the rotor and couldn't be arsed to replace it) so that's fine for stock clocks but GPS would be a nice way to just sidestep the whole compatibility question.

Its a KOSO DL-03SR Black. All warning lights work except the fuel light. I believe it can be done but it required a bit of messing about so i left it with the intention of sorting it at at later date, but tbh I've got so used to using the trip, waiting for it to hit 140 miles then filing up. Never had an issue. You'll soon adapt.
