Freebird Posted February 27, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 27, 2009 I like it a lot. I think you could sell them. Where do I send the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBJ Posted February 27, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 27, 2009 Excellent job. Very professional looking. I think Don"s right there's money to be made with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7Goose Posted February 27, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 27, 2009 That is absolutely the most logical place to put them. I just couldn't bring myself to remove the cassette and modify the fairing. No valid reason, just something weird in my brain that said I had a feature that came with the bike and wanted to keep it! Wonder what I'd a done if it came with an 8-track?

Freebird Posted February 27, 2009 Share #14 Posted February 27, 2009 The MP3 cable just plugs into the back of the cassette. You can just unplug it and run it out with an extension cable from Radio shack. Many of us have done that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlh3rd Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share #19 Posted February 27, 2009 i hate to make a promise and not keep it....but i'll try to do a write up ...sometime..... a lot of the credit goes to goose as he had a write up for the gauges he installed you can get these at an auto parts store....i ordered mine because i wanted electrical, not mechanical...and they cost double and only available in these colors and from this co. only.............i'd install mechanical knowing what i know now..........and white gauges would look better, which you can get in white, if they are mechanical...these are the 11/2 " size.... ..........
