<![CDATA[Custom Gauge Faces]]>Was thinking about putting some custom gauge faces on the 2004 1000RR. Does anyone have experience with people like bluegauges.com? They want $130 and you ship them your gauges for installation.

Worth it?

Nice, cant lie to the cop when he pulls you over for speeding saying you didn’t know how fast your were going

No seriously officer, I was blinded by my instrument cluster!

Thought you were just gonna open a perfectly good one. 🙂 Had to help someone fix their car’s gauge cluster after the “expert” he sent it to effed it up. Bent some of the shafts on the stepper motors trying to pry off the needles the wrong way. One reason I don’t recommend doing that just for the sake of change.

Now the tach needle sticks when it passes by 5k rpm and drags on the warped backplate.

I can glue the backplate back down, but it’s obviously melted a bit and looks like crap.
