The gauges are carbon fiber ultra lite series from autometer. I bought them to use on the Z1R which I decided to hold off on till were moved and I have a new shop with more room to work in.
This pic is of the faces showing the neutral and oil lights on.

No, started to but didn't have material handy when I was thinking about it and they are fairly cheap thru Z1E. I had the blue APE's here but didn't like the blue with the rest of the bike.

Well it's together and fired, #3 cylinder missing, circuit plugged somewhere in the carb and 2 other floats sticking, carb cleaning time. Going to try the RS34's tomorrow but I'm done today.

That's the factory anodizing still on them, part of the reason I chose to go ahead and use them on this bike, I was saving them for a green bike that I was going to build after the turbo.
