Single Gauge bracket for 1975 Z1B 900 was created by mardimus
I got rid of the two stock gauges (they were really bad and unrepairable) and designed a custom single gauge through Speed Hut. The gauge is awesome. I am fabricating a bracket now to house the new 4" gauge. Does anyone else on here have pics or a measurement for a single gauge bracket. I made one in Catia and had a prototype CNC'd but I am not sure I like it and want to get some other ideas. I will post mine soon once I make some changes. The 3D image of it is posted below along with my white faced gauge that just arrived. But if you get a chance, please post a pic or a site of someone who makes a single bracket for the Z1. thanks.

Crossed my mind. But I love this gauge and hated the old ones. Plus, they may be new but not original. I am not a fan of knock off versions.

To each his own. They are not knock offs. Made in Japan direct replacement.

Thanks Steve. I appreciate the good gesture.

I am looking for bracket ideas and or plans someone has made for a single gauge setup. Would you know of anyone who has fab'd their own on this forum? Or any forum for that matter. :0

Marty,
Now I see whats going on. I did indeed just do a bracket for a single gauge but it is different that yours. I am actually switching mine to 2 Speedhut gauges. Was thinking of doing the single combo unit but I like the dual gauge list.




When I had it mounted on the original upper triple tree. it mounted to the stock mounting holes.
