Looks cool, but that's a ton of coin for luxury features imo.

and I thought it came out back in December... http://www.k11og.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3971&highlight=fuel+plus

It does have some totally cool features - temperature monitor, flashing red led, etc. But for that kind of money, I'll keep the one that lives where the clock used to... Besides, it would be a TPITA to pull out the fuel + and put the clock back at this point.

The last owner of K1100RS that I bought last Fall had installed the older version where the clock was. Hate the %$!##@$ thing. Got it to display time and I leave it that way.

On all the previous bikes I've owned, "distance to empty" was mentally calculated from when I had to switch the tank valve to reserve.

Temperature? Well I'm outside, how does it feel to me?

I thought the point of riding was to get away from all the electronic crap that has invaded our lives. Do I really care about average speed or MPG's? NO!!

Ok, my rant is over, I had a second cup of coffee, I'm calming down. Phew!

Actually, distance to empty is the only one of the 40 functions I use. Who cares what time it is when you're out riding? You can see when the sun is going down...

I bet someone on the board would happily buy that older style fuel+ and send you clock to replace it Exclamation I imagine you could easily get $150.00 or more for it. Hell, maybe you could even sell it for $500.00. Shocked Shocked Shocked Plus shipping, that is...

Jim, you read my mind. I was just thinking that if someone was splurge on the new one I would offer to buy the older version.

Personally I've been procrastinating on the purchase of the $120 AudioVox Cruise because I don't think I do enough long distance highway riding to justify it. I cant even imagine why I would drop that much "coin" for something that would only have it's major benefits on the long road trips.
Same goes for GPS, I'd like to have a Zumo 450. Can't justify it right now, maybe later when there available at the Edge as a refurb and the price comes down more.
Oh-well, we can't take it with us. When I retire to the Holiday Inn Express maybe then I'll splurge for a good massuse.

Ride Safe.

Scott

The must not have been selling very well.
The price has dropped to less than $350. I wondered how long it would take, or how far it would come down.

Well, any offers for it?? I actually never use it for anything other than time- really, I do not touch it.

If you can send me the plain-vanilla clock, we can work out some $$. I even have a copy of the instruction book.

the new fuel+ is now down to $337 plus $12 S&H.

It has the following features:

MILES REMAINING IN YOUR TANK

FUEL ECONOMY

RANGE TRAK TO FUEL STOP

DISTANCE - TIME - AVERAGE SPEED

DUAL TEMPERATURE MONITOR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MONITOR

WAYPOINT ENTRY

12 / 24 HOUR CLOCK

Definitely a lot more features than the old one - and the price is getting close to right. I think I paid about $229 for the older one I have.

John - I still say you should put yours in the for sale forum - and over at IBMWR.org - if you want to get rid of it. If you price it right, it'll sell.

How difficult is it to remove? (how many connections are there?)

Where do I find a plain ol' OEM digital clock?

As you can see I did buy the bike with this item installed but have never used it.
