LCD inlaid into fuel tank

drz · 06-22-2008, 03:17 PM

Hello all,
I'm looking to have my fuel tank modified to put a 5" or so LCD screen into the tank so it's flush. The LCD would need to be touchscreen and weatherproof, and of course support bluetooth. The plan is to use is for GPS and have it provide directions via bluetooth to my helmet while also be able to bluetooth connect to my cell phone to route my calls/play music (yah yah, i know, no lectures), etc.

Has anyone seen this done professionally? I've got a friend who works on cars and says he can do the tank, but the wiring then presents an issue, and i've not had much luck finding an lcd meeting my requirements...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have seen many bikes in super streetbike magazine with LCDs in the tank. Maybe check out their website and see if they highlight any bikes and offer descriptions/vendors. Also check in ur area for custom bike shops. start by checking the yellow pages.

I seen it on superbikes. The touchscreen was intergrated into a Radio System and Tail cam. Lots of FiberGlass he pretty much ripped apart everything. But they did not go into much detail =/

You could mount a Zumo 550 in there.

I would think that this would basically be a moto PC, that or your going to have to pretty much mold and wire it yourself, I don't see kits being sold for this type of thing.
