That is kind of a catch 22. If I leave the gauge mount bracket in place to hold the bin then it would be fairly easy but it would only be about 2 inches deep and kind of useless. I could remove the bracket but then the mounting would become problematic.
Right now I barely have time to work on things I already have CAD drawings for. Anything new wouldn't be for a while.

Slow. They take 2 1/2 days each to print. Been printing almost non-stop for a month.
Fortunately for me, work has been 12+ hour days, 6 days a week so unfortunately I have not had time to do anything with the face plates. Sorry but work takes precedence for me, then play, then fabrication and I have only gone riding 1 day since starting this project (over a month now).
I think I now have a stock machine to engineer the face plates on so maybe this weekend (it is a state holiday here so I have a little extra time).
11 units printed so far. As soon as I can work out the face plates, I can start shipping...

That’s wonderful problems you’ve got. Again, not rushing a thing, just keeping hope alive....🤣
Looking real good. 👍Thank you for the details.
I missed this discussion until today. I installed the All Things UTV relocate kit some months ago, Prefer the new location a lot,
However...... I still find the display hard to read, especially in bright daylight, which is most of the time for me.
Bottom line .... I think Honda needs a re-design of the display itself ( along with the location) I love my Talon, but feel it has the worst display of the industry. I can only hope that in future model years Honda (or someone else) makes an improved display that can retrofit into our 2019 - 2020 Talons.

I agree, even properly located, the Honda's display is way behind the tech available today. I was shopping the YXZ along with the Talon, its optional display, although expensive, is a combination of an OBD driven engine systems display and GPS - I'd love to see something like that happen for the Talon.

I will take a relocation kit please. Do you send the instructions on what wires to lengthen?
Looking good Paul. I don't think I sent you a PM, but would also prefer a blank center console plate to customize myself. Will likely do a combo of stereo controller and switches. Thanks for putting time into this project.
I will provide PDF instructions with details and pics but the Instructions are not compiled yet.
Once the units are ready, I will PM you (in the order that everyone "liked" the post on page 1) and go over what you want. Any orders or instructions in this thread will get buried, lost and forgot.

Great idea, especially for the ones with ride command display envy issues. The engineering and printing looks great. After reading this thread I put one of those little Cornhole tools tittie calendars where the display would go and went out for a ride to see if I paid attention. Nah, not really and I love titties.... Never had a display on my dirt bikes or quads. Sound and feel is my giddyup.

The printing looks sharp, no doubt. But I’m with speed buggy on the actual use of the display. Old sport atvs, 300ex 400ex has zero information displayed for the rider. Learning to feel what the machine was doing and listen to how it was running was critical.
To this day I credit my ability to notice any slack, bad bearings or handling issues to those simple atvs with no display.
Absolutely no disrespect to PaulF. I admire your design and wish you the best of luck with sales.

I check my fuel level 2-3 times a day that’s about it.
i can mount my PV3 Display in front of the steering wheel now though.

I basically have to stop and take off my sunglasses if I want to see the time or mileage or just about anything on there. 95% useless.
Had some time to work on the face plates this week. Got my hands on a LV to see what it would take to move the idiot lights to the face plate. Success!!! This dash relocation is now doable on a LV. No extra wires or anything to move the LV stuff, the wires are plenty long..
One more test machine to make sure all the templates are correct and I can start building and shipping units to order starting end of next week.
This guy also hated the location of the suspension switch and had me move it. Also no wiring required to move the switch except undoing a wire tie...

Oh my...You speak the truth...that’s not popular these Days 😂🤣😂...agree totally...love my Talon...been waiting on Honda to put out a SxS since the Oddesy ...but it Seems to me that if they have put 10 years of development into this rig....they kept the same instrumentation that was available 10 yrs ago and forgot they needed a cluster at the last minute...my most disliked component for sure..and Poo like Ram truck..sure hit the mark imo...and I wouldn’t buy either one...but they did Set a barBecause of their reliability reputation, I never considered a Poo Poo when shopping, it was either Yamaha or Honda. But when I sat in a Poo, I was wowed by its big screen, color info center - instant envy occurred.

That’s wonderful Paul. I don’t like the location of the suspension switch either, and will do the same. Nice work. 👍
Apologies to all waiting for these relocation kits. Last 3 weeks have been very hard on the household. Major medical issue (not COVID but much worse) is affecting everything in our lives. I now have enough cluster mounts printed and the initial face plate design done to begin filling orders. I will begin with the first to "like" the post and fill as many as I can, please maintain the same level of patience
6 switch and blank face plates (both with and without the Talon logo) are ready. Plug blanks are available if you need some at $2 each.
Prices are still the same except the Live Valve face plates will be $50, they are double layer and much more complex. I still need to work out a few machining glitches on the LV face plate so these may not ship as fast as the others.
The kit will come with all the necessary hardware, wires, heat shrink and wire loom. You will need some various hand tools, a solder iron, solder and some electrical tape to complete the install.
Shipping/handling and a little for the hardware parts will be a flat $20 for priority mail (Canada will be more).
Unfortunately, I will NOT be offering the exchange wire harness at this time due to issue mentioned above.
Attached is the complete instruction PDF including the harness modification. Please review and make sure you are comfortable with the wiring and drilling holes in your dash before I confirm your order.
