Just got one for christmas and was looking into mounting options.... I have a Scotts mount but it dont look exactly right...
I mounted my Watchdog using the brackets that came with it. I used longer bolts and spacers and bolted it on to the lower holes of the handlebar clamp.
personally i think the ICO is better but being a budget racer....I got this baby for a song...watchdog, scotts mount, and 3 sensors for a buck fifty... yes a cheater enduro tool....but i like it...i need it to...I burned all kinds of checks at my first enduro....ouch....first 1 was like a minute then just got worse...actually burned 1 by 11 minutes...but mostly cause my odo was way off...thats my excuse....
My bike had a Vaportech mounted to the bars when I got it a few months ago. I made a custom mount out of 16ga stainless and welded tab mounts to ss washers. Rock solid and centered. Oem bracket was plastic and not centered.
I need to get one, my wife and i ride family enduros every now and then.its hard not to burn checks in a family event.I want one thats easy too program,use/read,and mounts clean so i dont break it.
Nothing against them at all - I was just being a smartazz. I come from a long line of them, and can't help myself...
letitsnow...I am a true Smart A$$ so there was no offense taken...although I take offense to your user name...6 inches of snow for 2 weeks and I am ready to go mad... Darth...to me the ICO is a little harder to program but still maybe only 30 minutes for an event with a bunch of speed changes and resets...the Watchdog was really easy...I programed a couple D 37 route sheets that were posted online...it took 10 minutes with 9 speed changes and 2 resets...didnt even read the manual before just programmed as i read...i wanted easy cause the OH enduros dont give out route sheets in advance so I wanted fast an easy...
The name is actually a bad joke. I hate snow, and don't even want to tell you how much we have right now.
The "DOG" is a great value alot less $$$ and you never hear any horror stories(as ICO) as Dave Dugas is a stand up guy and supports his products the he sells. Plus if you had a major fubar he sends out a loaner unit.. Thats supporting the sport The Watchdog is super easy to program and when you have last minute changes they are easy to drop in. The magnet pickup is a once buy and good for life(brass).. just another ICO horror story..(Plastic) Chow, Carl
its not that kinda snow....just enough to be a hassle...plus the ground underneath is rock hard and like grease on concrete without snow....with was no fun at all...and a bonus is the 1000 lil roots and small logs you dont see until you are picking your bitt off the ground...
Me & 5 friends went yesterday & with ice screws front & back I had traction all day. [only 25 miles but tough]. Besides one flat on a Suzuki, an end over end on a Honda that spewed oil everywhere & couldn't kickstart for 20 minutes [locked up], & one Ktm [grandson] that plain got tired, we had a good day. The Husky & Yamaha had no issues.
