Translogic TLS-MD2 on RZ500

#1 Post by AHAMAYfrank » Sun Nov 18, 2018 2:49 pm

Does anyone have experience with the Translogic TLS-MD2 dash?

I am keeping my eyes open for a more modern gauge for my project bike, but I don't want to break the bank of course. It looks like these are no longer made but they look like what I might want on my RZ.

Thanks, Frank

Vin, thanks for that, very good to know. Do you know which version you have? MD2 perhaps?

Well I guess I was the the lucky guy last night. I "won" the translogic dash that was on eBay usa. I have always been somewhat interested in them but price has been a hurdle. Just ignored it and bid lol. :cool:

Nice, you bid past me. Keep us updated, as I plan on using one as well.

Well that's a bummer.. What are the odds of two on here trying to buy a Dash at the same time.

Quite honestly I think I paid too much because I will need to buy at least a speedo sensor, but it's a done deal now. There are allot of cheaper Chinese options available on ebay but most look to be very small to me. Although the Translogic isn't produced any more it looks to be the real deal.

I have Koso dashes on two bikes. They're somewhat cheaper and work fine as long you stay clear from 40$ Chinese knock offs.
