OK. I've been drooling over Lankey's gauge pod since last summer, but without the cash...........no tickee, no shirtee!:tantrum:
So I decided to just do it myself......
I wanted to keep the factory indicator lamps (why I do not know! - would have been easier to scrap them all and use LED'S). Break out the Dremel!
Gauges needed: IMHO
tach
oil
temp
volts
speedo
Since I can't afford to have someone make me a full setup and didn't want alot mounted on my bars, here's what I did...........
UltraLite oil and temp mounted in pod. I removed stock gauges, and basically carved away the back plastic housing to accomodate them.
I also bought a Datel Digital Voltmeter .. http://www.datelmeters.com/cgi-bin/...v123889501991&command=link--dcvoltmeters.html
There aren't too many places for it on our bike so again I carved away at the plastic...see pix...
Here's another link on the DATEL mounted on other bikes

I went with CopRunner's LED mod a couple weeks ago......figures all the LED's I got do not fit the new gauges! (superbrightleds here I come again.
I wanted all blue but settled for red, the new gauges came with red covers and I cheaped on the voltmeter and went with red......red it is!
Lastly will be a pro cycle 3 3/4 tach (model 19202) which will be coming from Summit next week........
Here's the pix, hope you all like.
