[QUOTE="John d, post: 1331052, member: 21062"] That's a difficult question to answer Tim. I have done all of about two hours of testing so far, so we'll see about the long term performance. I would have preferred a plug and play solution myself, but a Gen 2 specific part would have to be manufactured. I don't see that happening, period. I also would have preferred an encapsulated solid state product instead of a circuit board in what appears to be aluminum can. It does not appear waterproof but the internals are probably waterproof enough. Having the black box installed in the fairing as I did would keep water off the black box. I can see why people are hesitant cut their harnesses, but I've used taps previously and always had a 100% success rate over years of use. YMMV. Of course any new product will be updated with a better version eventually. Evolution of technology and all. I'm sure the major motorcycle manufacturers are watching closely, and no doubt will incorporate their version of it into new models. If you want this on an older bike, I think this is a great solution. I'll certainly post up if problems do arise. Maybe I'll do a 1000 mile and 10000 mile reliability report. [/QUOTE]
