Oprah in your lid - for you BB!

I actually like the idea.

 

Along the same lines as Skully, but it's an add on instead of integrated. A lot cheaper too. I'm concerned about the display being added to the inside of my helmet, in case of a crash. Other than that, it's a great idea.

 

Very simplistic, last year I contributed to truly first HUD on kick starter called Nuviz: www.ridenuviz.com. Much more versatile.

BTW: Skully not a true HUD, LCD display only

 

Will this mean the death of tachs and speedometers or head from Oprah?

Whoops, I meant a heads up from Oprah..

 

Nah, not for me, just one more distraction I don't need.

 

Fusar has a better one IMO. Check out the vid at the bottom of page.

We will remember you said that!

 

Fusar is a totally different concept, NOT a HUD (Heads Up Display) like the military uses, which is what the Nuviz uses.

 

Nuviz has the best design so far I think ....

Has anyone actually seen or tried any of these optical farkles and more importantly, can I really watch my Oprah re-runs on one? The scary part is that with just a few more technological advances, Oprah could be watching me.

 

Never had a need to be constantly looking at the gauges, other than the temp in city traffic. I did use one of these and it works.

There's enough juice through the headphone jack in most radar detectors to drive an LED. A resistor or two might be needed. The headphone/ speaker feature is crap anyway.

A suction cup holds it all together and mounts on the inside of the wind screen. Built mine aboot 15 years ago with aboot a fiver in parts from Radio Shack.. For a really bright display, the LED array from one of these dollar flashlight from WalMart will work. My detector sits on my tank bag using a chunk of marine grade Velcro.

Works great. I got lit five times by the local gendarmes and the smokies exiting Seattle on I-90. That would be heading East. Heading west the rig would at some point need waterproofing.
