Guys, thanks for your patience. It seems that I should explain things.
The speedo converter uses a microprocessor chip - a tiny computer chip. We have assembled a few by hand, (one of them is in my bike now) but as you can understand this is a very fiddly thing to assemble and hand-wire. As far as testing goes, we know the unit works well - it has seen many months in development and fine tuning.
The next step in testing is to test the units in the form that they will be sold - on a mass produced high-density miniaturised circuit board. These boards are being manufactured at the moment. I do not anticipate any problems with the finished units, we will have units on sale at the same time as the "test" units go out.
In short, our decision was that it was worth giving away some of our finished products for free in return for feedback regarding their usefulness, ease of installation, suggestions for improvement, reliability reports and so on.
Keep in mind that testing is not really the issue here (Frank!) I had tested the unit on the bench for over two months under different conditions, and have had a unit on my bike now for about two months and it works flawlessly. As far as I am concerned, we have no software errors and no hardware/electronic errors. The next "testing" is merely a formality of gaining user feedback.
So, please be patient, although the final pick has not yet been made we will give out up to 8 units for Hayabusa owners. I have been visiting a number of forums, and preference will go to those who have been posting regularly to the board with mature and helpful technical information.
In the near future I will also contact the moderator of this forum and with his permission offer some type of member discount for members of this forum.
