2004 FZ6N
I've had the FZ6 for a month now so I figure it's time to start hacking it.
I'm pretty sure I can tap into the communication line from the ECU to the display (k-line) and get speed and revs and gear selected (mixture of speed and revs). Also tap into the indicators in the display.
I'm thinking of sending this info to a box mounted in my helmet about the size of a matchbox with 2 multicolor LEDs. Have 1 change color at set speeds, probably 60, 80, and 100 kph and 1 change color depending on gear changes. One would flash in time with the indicators too, left one flashing for left turn and right for right turn. Both flash quickly if over a certain rpm too.
Problem could be the brightness at night - they'd have to be adjustable.
The battery could explode in a crash - not likely and a crash that big my face would be a mess anyway.
Thoughts?
