Thank you everyone for your feedback.

Patience: Some people have told me that I'm one of the most impatient persons that they know. They are correct to some degree. I have little patience when relying upon someone else, but have a great deal of patience when relying upon myself.

Mounting on the caliper: I don't see a spot for mounting this on the caliper. The caliper bracket and the caliper itself cover up the portion of the disc where the pickup needs to be adjacent to. I imagine that it could be hung off of either side though. But hanging off the bottom would probably result in it getting torn off. And there seems to be little room for it between the caliper and fork.

Mass production: I'm not sure what the demand would be? AFAIK, there aren't too many Vapor/KLX250S owners out there. A correctly programmed CNC machine could whip out a hundred of these in very little time.

I am having intermittant spells of it working and I am corresponding with the factory now. It worked for the first 2 hours and then quit. I reset everything and then it worked until I got to the riding area and it quit again and would not start back up. The whole problem was solved in the whoops when the screw loosened on the plastic "Cateye" bicycle mount and the computer became a dangling part hanging from my handlebars.

Just don't do what I did, I ziptied my sensor to the fork as a temporary measure just to make sure it all worked ok (remember I have 2 different front wheels). Got it all working fine and forgot to screw it to the caliper. Of course a few months later the sensor got wrapped around the wheel hub and ripped the wired apart. [:@]
$25 + shipping later I have a new sensor + wire to put on [:'(]
