A while ago I got a Bluetooth ODB-II adapter off Amazon and was using it my car with the Dash app to track various stats that I didn't really have any visibility in with the old Mustang. It got me wondering if there was anything similar for my Harley, but unlike cars which have all had ODB-II adapters since 1996 there's (of course) no standard for motorbikes. EFI Harleys do however have the diagnostic port that the technicians can use to read/reset codes etc, and of course Power Commanders etc plug into...

Jeeze mate you’ve had a lot of readers but no responses. Gotta admit, it’s all very clever. Good on ya.

I share Ratbobs take on this and please don't take this as anything personal but just my opinion, If I am riding I concentrate on riding,whether it is highway km's ,city bumper to bumper or idling at a set of traffic lights, anything else is an outright distraction, shit it is hard enough to stay alive on a bike as it is. Mobile phones and riding don't mix.I have personally gone through the phase of putting a Dakota digital gauge on my 06 Fatboy which gives me most of the info you discussed. Initially I thought it was all the go and "look what I can do" sort of stuff but do you want to know how often I look at that data a year or two on? never and no one I know is interested either

Every opinion’s valuable Fat Tom, adds to the mire (a complicated  situation from which it is difficult to extricate oneself) of our forums reality. Cheers. 

you don't mix what works on cars, with MC's. need to keep it simple with MC's so can keep 100% of attention on the road!!

For me, it's less useful on the FXBB as the dash is easier to read than on my Low Rider (tank mounted gauges tended to fog up, and the sun angle often made them reflect). On the Low Rider having the speedo (and rpm) mounted high up on the bars was - for me - a good thing. The rest of the data is interesting to look at every now and then, but not really something I'm going to want to see all the time... in fact, my preference would be to have the lower half of the screen just show the Waze display as I'm still relatively new to the area so do need a GPS to get around (and the speed camera alerts are helpful!). The phone that I use on my handlebars isn't my 'regular' one, so I don't get calls/texts etc on it (just got a data sim in it, there is a messaging app but only contacts on that account are my wife and daughter and it's an 'emergency only' option if they need to get hold of me quicker than me checking my regular phone when I stop).

Yeah I gotta admit, there are times I can’t read the speedo because of chrome glare. Don’t know how guys go on those CVO breakouts with the chrome finish tank.

Might be just the thing when you have tank bags on. 

Nice.
