[QUOTE="Paul Coene, post: 100008, member: 2998"] My Godet Egli-Vincent has the electronic speedo and tacho from Smiths. The blue odometer and trip display are completely illegible in the sun (not even direct sunlight). But even worse, that's how the speedo looked after the first ride in the rain: [ATTACH=full]24032[/ATTACH] When I showed it to Patrick Godet, he send a mail to Smiths and ten minutes later, he got this answer: "[I]We know about this problem. You are not the first one who complains about it. We use the best seals available though and do not know how we could improve it. You (P.Godet) should explain your customers how to clean their motorbikes."[/I]Meanwhile, the water inside has evaporated, the speedo still works and the black paint of the dial is peeling of. You have been warned. [/QUOTE]
