Alta Vault EX or MX Display Module Protection Device | Keith Products
______________________________________________
There has been some discussion on the thread concerning the solution for a broken display. If it is already done it is tough, but PREVENT it from happening.
I posted some photos of the prototype I machined to protect my unit. I have sent materials, drawings, and the prototype to another to have CNCed for a limited run. I priced it out and will still go with the original figure of $99 plus shipping, which I think will be $7.20 Priority CONUS. It will be made of 6061 aircraft aluminum and will be anodized. The hardware will be stainless. Weight of the prototype was 6 ounces and I expect the final will be just under that. It will attach to the brackets on the top triple clamp but also attach to the handlebar mounts for maximum rigidity. Although nothing is an absolute certainty, I like my chances having this unit protecting my own display.
My bike is a '17 MX that I retrofitted the '18 EX lighting. I am using the EX display bracket but have a way to use it for a MX with the number plate. Instead of being in the vulnerable position above the bars it is relocated lower and behind the light or number plate. The display is also isolated by foam surrounding the sides. All lights visible and buttons accessible with the guard in place. As soon as I get the units back I will post further pictures before anodizing. When they are complete I will give the link to purchase one for your bike.
I want my bike to run for a very long time. The best way is to stay upright, but sometimes things happen and this will help to avoid my bike becoming a stationary brick.
