Any issues? It's the first set I've got of these being installed! They do look good and that really isn't a biased opinion!

No issues at all Les,
I had to figure the project would need a new upper brake line and banjo bolt sending unit since they eliminated the big ugly splitter and brake lite sensor combo unit. Very small price to pay all considered ;)
Anyone who wants to retain the factory stock front end should love to have a set of these.
When you see this thing from the front , side or seat they just scream OH YEAH !!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: Cant wait to show them off this weekend at the show to Ron Finch, He will give me his evil grin and say Wheres Mine !!!!

Thanks Les , Your a real Friend

I'm on the hunt for a boost gauge that has lighting, mechanical and outdoor/motorcycle/boat. The liquid filled ones are easily found but I want something cool and non digital.

Checkout Glow Shift Boost Gauges on the net. I found tons of super cool boost gauges that fit the description you asked for. 42 Dollars and up . Let me know what you think. It has me thinking about a new one too ;) ;) ;) ;)

I checked them out months ago. Those and that competing cheap brand I forget, same prices. I guess they are total shit, not accurate, etc. The Diesel truck guys were all over them and gave them the thumbs down every where I checked. Might have to go with auto-meter. There are good jap brands like greddy, apexi, defi, but they are $$$ and not water proof (nor is auto-meter but they are a 1/4 the price). Also those jap ones might actually get ripped off your bike because of their attraction and value.

OK I guess we rethink this one :blink:
I use a MR Turbo Gauge already and it works fine, just no pretty lights like you are looking for.

That's a good one, he sent me that when I was installing the autometer stuff on mine!
Dave, you got to polish those fins on the head! I was going thru the pics and it finally dawned on me, what is not right with those pics, I knew it wasn't the trees. :P Took a while to see it and I remember talking to you about it. It does make a ton of difference.
btw, it is looking good!

I remember the other brand, Depo, I seen them in real life today and they were shit. Needle didn't even rest at 0 properly.

I will probly go with Autometer NV as I want the white face to match the other gauges.

You know what??? I really like those trees but I think now that you are sporting the rolex watch time to change a few other things like the seat and headlight.
