RedRider Posted October 2, 2009 Share #28 Posted October 2, 2009 Another great winter project and something for next year's Central WI Maintenance Day!! Now, we need to get this linked up with the Wagner grill guy and get them painted to match. The possibilities will grow like a weed! Outstanding that you are putting this together. Thank you.

MidlifeVenture Posted October 2, 2009 Share #31 Posted October 2, 2009 Is there a way to fit a tach in there instead of one of the other guages?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted October 2, 2009 Share #32 Posted October 2, 2009 Scott , when you find a 1.5 dia tach , PLEASE let all of use know! I would rather have that in the spot of the volt meter.

gunkylump Posted October 3, 2009 Share #37 Posted October 3, 2009 Yup, We can do that. We could possibly do an install or two at maitenance day if not installed by then. Randy, you still coming to Texas? Yup, We can do that, too. Thanks. Beth and I are discussing where we're headed next year.....I'll have at least 2 weeks...Texas keeps coming up first.....what's the best month to head down there...June, July or August...or even September? Maintenance day installs? I'll be first in that line up!!! randy:smile5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share #38 Posted October 3, 2009 I can help HOW Since I have never installed anything like this, you better send a complete instruction booklet for this one. Watch yer mail next week. Would this work out? Size is 1 7/8 http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/produc...fCatId=&mmyId= I have the Drag Specialties mini tach. Unfortunately, it measures about 2" at the O.D. of the bezel. That would work but it would overhang the top and bottom of the plate. Also, all three 1 1/2" gauges butt up against each other and just fit within the length of the mount plate. So, you would have a tough time fitting the tach in with two other gauges. Beth and I are discussing where we're headed next year.....I'll have at least 2 weeks...Texas keeps coming up first.....what's the best month to head down there...June, July or August...or even September? Maintenance day installs? I'll be first in that line up!!! randy:smile5: June would work, the first half of September is still August to me. If I were headed south from Canuck land, I would choose early June, the end of September or October. This is about a three hour job by yourself, two with friends, eight with lots of friends.

I can rattle can paint one in Gloss black. They look great on Midnight models. Just indicate "Black" on your order. I should have a batch ready next week.

Got to keep life interresting. You're welcome. Ponch, I am interested in the whole enchilada. I was wondering though if you could send me a package with the off-white guages like Don used? Sweet! Very sweet indeed!!!! Carl:clap2: I will have to look into the Equus gauges some more. They require a modification to the installation instructions that I have not performed yet. They cost a little more as well. But, they shure look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmxndad Posted October 3, 2009 Share #46 Posted October 3, 2009 How difficult is it to hook up the wires on the gauges to where they get hooked up to? I would be interested in the entire package in aluminum. Would this include all needed instructions? Thanks, Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 3, 2009 Share #47 Posted October 3, 2009 OK,OK,OK enough already! I dont need these gauges or the kit.........I ALREADY HAVE THEM!!! LOL And as far as hard to Install?

Thanks, Ross For instructions go to the tech forum, [ame=http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19119]Installing Gauges - VentureRider.Org[/ame] I include instructions for installing the gauge plate. I use Goose's instructions for the gauge hookup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideoftheroad Posted October 4, 2009 Share #49 Posted October 4, 2009 From your 1st posting, is the middle pic of the polished plate? Guessing the 5th pic is Don's? Looks like from the colors they are the same '99 color as what I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Posted October 4, 2009 Share #50 Posted October 4, 2009 I would really like to have them. I too would prefer a tach in the package but it is not vital. Pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff but if the instructions are good I will give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
