Bicycle Mechanics - Bent Trike and computers

I also posted this in the Bent forum but figured there might be some ideas from here also.

My father-in-law recently purchased 2 Sun 3 wheeled recumbents (EZ TAD SX & EZ 3 USX). He is wanting to get a computer put on them. But on both those the stearing and handlebars so to speak are below the seat. Does any one have a computer set up on these or know how to do it where it would be able to be seen while riding?

On my Greenspeed trike, I set the computer on the rear chainstay. I can't see it while I'm riding, but that doesn't bother me.

If you want to see the display while riding, you'll need to buy a "rear mount" kit with an extra long wire to match your computer (unless you're handy with a soldering iron.)

I highly recommend the CatEye brand, they're very reliable, and rear-mount kits are available for most models. Don't get suckered into buying a wireless model...not likely to work given the distance involved.

I've seen them mounted on an accessory bar on the front upright that the derailure is mounted to along with the cateye.

Sun has an accessory bar that plugs into the front derailluer mounting tube.
