Seems like a backwards deal to me....

Just ordered some blue ones from the link provided on the last page... Can't wait to install this.

Looks good, Big twin, and [up] for passing on the remaining gauge. [cool]

Finally installed mine:

Tied power to the aux circuit vice using the dash circuits.

Just wanted to add my install pics to the thread.

The first meter I bought ended up not being a true green, it was more of a yellow-green. So I kept digging around on ebay and found a true green meter, which also ended up being slightly smaller in size. So I waited for the slow boat from China to arrive, and I couldn't be happier! The height/width ratio of the display seems to look a little more OEM (which was my goal) and the brightness is perfect.

I purchased my meter from "kuuco" on ebay.

The little brass stand-offs were in one of my little drawers of old electronic crap, if I remember correctly, they were from an old Bosch ECU. The height just happened to work out perfect. I spent a little time studying the board and found the closest place to get power and ground, and secured the wires with silicone.

The black cover had "ghost" outlines for the omitted extra lights. I was able to remove it by sanding the face with 320 sandpaper to give the whole cover a uniform look. Once the tinted cover is on, it looks totally factory.

Is there enough room under there for the voltage meter and gear indicator? I'd like to do both!

 

[DrogeN Omen]

gear indicator...?

i am interested....!

 

[FriskyNinja]

DrogeN Omen: Get on eBay and search Buell XB gear indicator.

 

[DrogeN Omen]

all i see is gear indicators for XB12R, 12XT, 9R and 9SX.

Here is what I have found on eBay, different listings have different models but they're all the same module and wiring.

I had my front end apart while getting the fairing stay powder coated and finally did the voltmeter install. Thanks to Jesse for peer pressuring me to do it. I took some new nicer photos of the process.

To get the voltmeter in a timely fashion I had to order a multi pack from Amazon so I have a few leftover. If anyone wants one I'd be glad to send you one free of charge.

There are 2 reds though one is slightly bigger. 1 white. 1 green. 1 yellow.

Well executed, nice job. Very generous of you to offer up the extras also....+1

That looks really nice. Good job. ;-)

Your offer is very generous, and I'd be happy to take one off of your hands (would be happy to send you some funds to cover shipping.)

Beggars can't be choosers so I'd be happy with whatever, but if given a choice I'd probably opt for the green one (or maybe the small(er) red one.

You are the first one to ask, so the whichever one you want is yours. Pm me your address and decision on color.
