New Dash Panel

Here is a picture of my new dash I just finished. It is a block of aluminum, engine turned and then sprayed with a transparent red to give it an anodized look. I added in some accesory lights and turn signals too. I also fitted my shift light into the dash. Tell me what you think.

Wow. I'd love to see that in translucent blue.

One question. What's that big red button do? ;)

That is the ejection button. If he gets going to fast and can't handle it he can hit that botton and gently float back to earth :laugh:

Check out the DIY digital dash.

I saw a pic of it on a bike somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment.

I'm not sure how well that digital dash would work in bright sunlight, seems like it would be hard to see.

I like the analog gauges like yours, personally.

Shame for something that big and red to not be a button of some sort. Maybe you should hack in a couple of small flame throwers and some sound effects. Bat bike.....Batike......Bake?
