Has anyone hooked a trip computer to a MountainHorse kit?

Using a GPS is the easiest way to track your mileage. It would kind of be a pain in the azz to do a magnet setup, you would have to drill a hole in the brake rotor to except a magnet and then find a way to mount the receiver. Then you would have to do some measuring to get an accurate distance per revolution.
I had taken the time to setup the stock KTM trip computer to the brake rotor. I got it working, but had to adjust the wheelsize which required disconnecting all the wires.. Anyways, the closest I could get to an accurate measure of distance was I could get it to measure half of the distance I travelled in miles, and so the speed wasn't right.
It lasted about half a year before it stopped working, and then I didn't care anymore. The ice that builds up on the wire probably broke the wire eventually.
This season I've bought a big *** 10,000mAh external battery for my Android Phone, and I will be tracking my rides using the My Tracks app, which is awesome for sharing your track, and also as a safety for getting back if the weather turns crappy. Also it's good to have the phone around just incase.
My phone has a stand alone GPS so I don't need cell signal, and it seems to work just fine from inside my jacket in a ziploc bag.

Iphones have an app called Motion X which works equally well.

I was just getting ready to order one myself. Are you going with the inline temp sensor or in radiator type?
I had the in line from my vector so It was already installed,,,,did you give up on the turbo and decide to JUST have fun again instead of tunning all the time??Im thinking nitrous my selfLOL
Yep, the turbo is gone. 3500 miles on the bottom end. If I rode it another season, I probably would have had to pay someone to take it. I sure do hope these snowbikes are fun....I have never even ridden one!
Do you think the inline temp is better? One the KTM's, there is a sensor that goes in the top of the radiator in the bleed screw threads. I am not sure if the sensor protured enough to be in the water as I normally only use enough coolant to just cover the passages.
Yea I know what you mean ,I had to part mine out to get rid of it ,,I bought a stock pro 163 just incase I feel like trail riding ,any way enough spilled milk! I used the in line after the thermostat so I could see when it was warm enough to beat on her!with FI she need to be warm or else its in enrichment mode and the gas tanks small enough!
I ended up ordering the Trail Tech Voyager. It will log miles via GPS and in the dirt it uses both gps and the front wheel sensor.
I called Trail Tech and the Vapor will automatically log engine hours via the tach sensor, fyi.
