Finished my new instrument panel. It's all ready for the install when my speedo/tach shows up. I thought I could get away with using plastic from a trophy shop, but it cracked when I was putting it all back together. So I used the trusty 1/4" lexan. As soon as I find my AutoCAD CD, I can input the key and then I'll post a template (minus gauge holes) so that it can be downloaded for those who want to make their own custom instrument cluster.
The clear LED's and switch are the neutral indicator, Vboost switch (3k-off-6k), low oil (red flashing), low fuel (red flashing). The new speedo and tach should be here shortly, according to the tracking, it's in Anchorage, so I might see it tomorrow. But definitely this week. It will have the turn indicators, high beam, and fuel gauge. The warning indicators are going to be set up for nitrous applications (low fuel pressure, armed).
I also got my bellypan and side panels primered, just have to give it a light sanding and then its paint time and take care of the tail and the scoops. My new faux tank is on the way, I should have it by the first week of October. So with some luck and free time, I should have the paint done, and all the body work back on the Archangel. Then it's time to fab some bracketry for the nitrous bottle, then it will be time to take off the engine covers to send to Sean as a core for the clear cover set that is on order. Then it's extended swingarm time. I'm glad I parked the bike a month early, school is tough this semester and I'm needing the extra time.
