How about a radar detector? This one mounts in a 2.1" hole and it's the smallest I've found...and this price is like $50 less than anywhere else I saw: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ALGNGO/ref=cm_rdp_product

Considering you're in florida I won't suggest a thermometer as black ice isn't an issue...

An altimeter isn't really a good choice since the tallest mountain in florida is space mountain...

A compass might be useful, but don't they need a flat mounting surface?

Maybe a self destruct button? http://www.strapya-world.com/categories/2331_2869.html

You could mount a deer whistle there... http://www.sav-a-life.com/Deeralert_intro.htm?gclid=CKXRi9WO954CFcNM5QodVXHwcQ

You could glue on a Darth Vader figure facing foreward...

A camera mount?

Foreward cannon mount?

Seatbelt warning light?

How about a tire pressure monitor?

The display is a little large at 1.7”W x 1.95”L x 1.4”D though...

the tire monitor is a cool idea, but I think I like the camera mount,
I could use that quite a bit.
I could make a vibration isolation pad out of an in dash cd player, they have little silicone isolators in them.
I think I have some of those and an old cam mount bolt here somewhere.

I'd have to make it with some sort of quick release doodad.

Good choice, you can always mount a deer whistle or a cannon to it later on too...

The trees I'm using have that spot too, but since I've milled the clutch cable loop and ignition switch loop off to mount my stock clocks it's almost covered.
And the idiot light panel obscures it pretty well too. I'll probably fill it in with some JB Weld an smooth it out so it's not too noticeable.
Cheers.

what fork are you running?

Alan F. · « **Reply #30 on:** December 28, 2009, 10:16:00 PM »

I'll be using 41mm forks and trees from a 91-03 750 nighthawk.
What are yours?

bucky katt · « **Reply #31 on:** December 28, 2009, 10:53:22 PM »

paint it in a white background then a small rising sun/japanese flag

I was going to wire one of these up to Doug's gas pedal....

I guess it would make an ok oil light.

mid '70s FIAT.

supposedly if you tried to do 70 all day the catalyst would overheat and set the car on fire.

or something like that.

Roach Carver · « **Reply #37 on:** December 29, 2009, 05:33:36 PM »

tooth brush holder, small vase with a flower.

mystic_1 · « **Reply #38 on:** December 29, 2009, 05:45:48 PM »

How about a light that comes on when you break the ton?

Sorta like the JDM speed warning light, but cooler

good idea but, that thing would be on every time I pass someone.

MötleyRöx · « **Reply #41 on:** December 29, 2009, 05:47:16 PM »

but that is round... you need a square vase.

BTW you could make the vase INTO a warning light

I'm thinking the simplest one might be the best, paint a tiny rising sun in there.

MötleyRöx · « **Reply #46 on:** December 29, 2009, 06:04:31 PM »

Make sure to leave a black hole in it.

I do like that idea, seems like it would be the nicest looking, aesthetically.
