Which Trailtech Vapor fits a 34L?

I've got to replace the clocks on my 34L and was looking to fit a Trailtech Vapor but I'm not sure which kit fits my 34L. Has anyone done this before and if so which kit fits? I sent an email to Trailtech a week ago and no response. Apologies if this has been answered already, I actually thought I had seen a similar post before but couldn't find it through search.

I've run Trail Tech computers on all my quads. I plan to run a Vapor on one of the XT's also but it is only because I have 2 at the moment. I preferred the Endurance over the Vapors. I still have a working Endurance from 2001 but I had to replace both Vapors within 1 year. They cannot take any moisture whatsoever. Both of mine were left on the quads overnight camping an just the dew killed 1, another month later the second died. Both had moisture inside. My Endurances have been run in the rain(still preferred not to), but never had one fail, plus they can be simply slipped out and taken inside, the Vapors are wired to the bike and can't be taken off easily. Otherwise I really like all the features of both units. The Vapor is nice for use as a tachometer which the Endurance isn't.

Thanks, I didn't realise the Vapor had problems with moisture, not a good thing in our climate! I've sent Trailtech another email, the last one contained a link so may have ended up in spam. I'll report back if they get back to me.

When I tore them apart to see if I could revive them there was no seal of any kind to stop water from getting in. Maybe in the last 2 or 3 years since they have done something about it, don't know without getting a new one to inspect.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
