Member Contributer arrow Posted July 25, 2011 Member Contributer Posted July 25, 2011 Brushed aluminum faces backlit with blue leds and an acumen DG-8 Gear indicator shoe horned where the neutral light goes. what do ya think? I like it a lot, especially the integrated gear indicator, that's so neat!. How'd you manage that? I want to get a gear indicator myself but I don't like how they have to be attached on top of the cockpit and this really is a neat solution. Quote
Member Contributer KevCarver Posted July 25, 2011 Member Contributer Posted July 25, 2011 Looks fantastic! Now go ride it! 11 thousand miles... sheesh... How about a low light pic to show off the backlighting? Quote
Member Contributer NorthernVFRDave Posted July 25, 2011 Member Contributer Posted July 25, 2011 Looking good Quote
smackdoogle Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Awesome!!! I wanna do that to mine! Ah wait, I don't have a 5th gen Quote
Primo Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Curious where you got the aluminum gauges. I have the blue LED backlighting on my 5th gen but the stock gauges. Thanks, Primo Quote

I wouldn't want the indicator tacked on somewhere like it normally is, but the integrated looks great. Quote
Primo Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Do you have any type of writeup on the gear indicator install? It's an excuse for me to spend more money and a very cool mod. Thank you sir, Primo Quote
SEBSPEED Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Curious where you got the aluminum gauges. I have the blue LED backlighting on my 5th gen but the stock gauges.

v4pilot Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 Hi Guys, Sorry for the delay I had to go on a road trip right after I posted this; thanks for all of your comments Yep got the gauges from throttlepimp they look awsome very good price and fast delivery. The indicator was just some careful dremeling and fileing; a little tricky to program though I had to have the dash apart while running the bike on the center stand. It looks great at night but I have not been able to get a clear shot with my camera it wants to use the flash and that messes the shot up and if I turn the flash off its blurry. I just used my phone for the picture in this post. If anyone has any other questions about this install feel free to pm me. Quote
Member Contributer AnikMankar Posted July 26, 2011 Member Contributer Posted July 26, 2011 great job....like to see some more closeups. Just ordered my GIPro-X so should get that soon. Like to have some installation pics and wiring. thanks Quote
JES_VFR Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Nice work, I do like the gear indicator as it might keep me from hunting for that 7th gear on long slab rides. But that's just another farkle that will go on the never ending list. Quote
zon Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Very nice work. Does anyone what happened to Throttlepimp? No activity since August and the web link on his profile does not work. I would like to order some of those face plates. Quote
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted December 11, 2011 Member Contributer Posted December 11, 2011 Nice work on everything. Gear indicator looks awesome Quote
VF800Ryan Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 HUGE improvement! I really like the gear indicator location aswell. :+1: write up please! Quote
Member Contributer Jakobi Posted December 12, 2011 Member Contributer Posted December 12, 2011 Very nice work. Does anyone what happened to Throttlepimp? No activity since August and the web link on his profile does not work. I would like to order some of those face plates. I'd like to know if anyone has any info on this as well. A dash upgrade was going to be one of my winter projects this year. -Jake Quote
