To those who have installed the "splice in" speedo healer, about how long did it take? I looked at the instructions on their site for the 05/06 zx6r and it doesnt look too bad. Are there any things I should look out for while doing this installation? Are there any better places to mount it than others? I just ordered mine so any feedback would be much appreciated. Pics of placement would be even better. Thanks.

....not difficult at all. follow the zx6 tutorial off the web site. give yourself a coulple of hours. do not rush it. soldering in the location needed is a bit of a PITA. make sure you tin the wires before you attempt the solder splices, that always makes the joining much easier.

Thanks, that what I figured. Most tutorials say to prop up the tank, is it that much harder to just take it off to get out of the way?

i propped up my tank with a wood stick, and i went a step further and bought some 3 wire connectors and made my own harness..
So i can remove the speedohealer if i choose to or it breaks..

They sell an ok kit at radio shack...plastic 3 wire connectors and a the metal pins to solder onto the wires...mine works like a champ and is removable, wish it cam that way from them but, oh well...
And yeah the top speed recall is kinda cool, wish i got the remote mount version...pain in the ass to check it with a complete solo tail unit.
yeah also put somehting on the frame and other areas so as not to get solder on anything, i sed cardboard and some tape.

I just ordered mine from Cal-SportBike, $99.99 with the extended speed recall button (so you dont have to go searching under the rear plastic to find it . They have the same price as anywhere else, just sucks that they dont have a plug and play design for our year of bike. Whatever, just gotta get the old soldering iron out now...
