Hey guys, I was looking around today and I started looking for HUD helmets. Like the HUD in the corvette. I found one company but it doesnt look like they sell them anymore, http://www.sportvue.com/store/product.php?pid=15 Anyone ever heard or seen anything along those lines? It would make me feel alot safer then having to look down at my tach/speedo.

if riding properly, you should be able to keep your tach and speedo in your lower peripheral vision no problem, without having to specifically look down.
also you should be remembering what hear yer in, and RPMs for speeds, and generally tell how fast yer going by engine note/gear

Yes, I understand that, but I would still like to be able to have an HUD on my helmet. It would be super-cool
This is the ONLY one I have found that is for sale. I tried alot of different sites. Ebay, Craigslist

I would love to have a HUD too.... but only if it could do speed/rpm/gps directions/caller id/engine temp/fuel level......... it would have to pretty much cover the whole visor!Any and all statements by Loudnlow7484 are merely his own opinions, and not necessarily the opinion of Katriders.com.

My idea of heads up display is looking where I'm going. Having said that, a HUD helmet is pretty cool.ハイどーぞバカ外人!

Actually, though.... I did forget one that I really would like.... I think it should have a radar detector warning in it. A little blinking red light and a jingle should do it, with maybe a little message that says "radar detected" or somesuch.Any and all statements by Loudnlow7484 are merely his own opinions, and not necessarily the opinion of Katriders.com.

The MC2 have that. They are the newer model but I cant find any for sale. They plug into your radar detector to show you if your getting shot at or not.2002 GSXF Katana 600- Sold

cool
I was looking at the MC2. Not really a needed item but super cool! I'd buy one if they weren't to crazy expensive, as I see it as a novelty.95 GSX600F -- GO DUCKS -- 06 R6Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

Did a little digging and found a really bad review, I wish they would develop this technology tho.95 GSX600F -- GO DUCKS -- 06 R6Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

I read the bad review . . . apparently those folks have never heard of, let alone installed, any universal aftermarket gauge cluster, because they ALL work exactly like that: Hall effect sensor for speed, and tapping into a plug wire or coil for rpm. And every aftermarket gear position indicator has to be programmed by running the bike up through the gears.
So I wouldn't give this review too much weight, because most of their negative comments are due to their own DIY fail and alarmist crap because they don't know how aftermarket speed and rpm sensors work. Also note that they give the msrp as $349, which means they were working with an early version of the product. Other reviews give a more balanced perspective. Webbikeworld's review included an update with a production unit that fixed most of the quality issues found in their original test unit.
For $349 I wouldn't even consider it . . . but really, $179 isn't that much for something so potentially cool. An aftermarket gear position indicator alone will cost at least $80 . . . a hundred bucks more to get that function plus speed and rpm in a freakin HUD seems pretty reasonable actually. I'll be putting a Koso RX-1N gauge cluster on my CBR this summer, installing the MC1 at the same time would be a piece of cake.
Dangit, I think I just talked myself into buying one
