just installed my Vapor stealth on weekend, I trimmed a little plastic to feed the wires on the left side mirror hole, I mounted exactly like how tw39515 mount his and make a L bracket for the speed sensor on the front wheel. Thanks for you tip tw39515. Now i notice my scooter runs about 325 to 360F...

nice, i saw the magnet, how what did you set for the wheel size on the vapor?

just got my Vapor Stealth. it come with everything that bakaracer described. Indeed i have to lengthen the CHT, PWR, and RPM wires. One more question i have is where did you mount the magnet and sender for the speed sensor? do you have to JB weld the magnet?
