    You can get approximate laptimes off your GoPro if you have one.

    If you have an android phone, check out the Dual XGPS160 Bluetooth unit. That's what I use, its 140 bucks new and accurate to 1/10th second. Works with Apple too but I think their are different units that are more compatible with apple.

    Mount it to your bike, download racechrono app, and viola. You can even see your lines, braking/accel zones, and bunch of interesting datalogging functions.

    Worst case scenario you can use your phones internal gps (as in just download the free app) and it will suffice as a laptimer accurate within 1-2 seconds

    Working on it and the bike too. Hopefully make Sat but might only be Sunday.
    Suspension is installed but had to fix my seat support last night.

    Busy night. Put on pipe, rims,tank cover, new brake pads, beveled rear pads, etc. Oh and laid more fiberglass on seat support.
    Looks a little more complete.

    If you're still looking, I can get you Qstarz GPS logger/lap timer for far less than anywhere else. Brand new with full warranty and support, all through my trackside exclusive distributorship and discounts for STT riders. It's an awesome unit for a fantastic deal. Just send me a PM/email.
