Aftermarket gauge replacements


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

It has been a while since I have been on as I got into a wreak. :(

A damn car cut right in front of me at a green light and I laid her down to avoid a head on collision. I torn my AC joint completely and I had to have surgery. I turns out I also had a SLAP tear and a torn rotator cuff but the doc said they were probably old injuries. :whistling:

 

But long story short I am on the mend and trying to put shela back together, I am going to try to make her naked (instead of buying a lot of plastics ;) ) by removing the broken cruise control components and the large stay at the front.

 

My question....Is there an aftermarket speedo/tach that i could hook up with limited modification?

 

I have already put on an aftermarket headlight and it looks good but I want to replace the gauges, mount some handle bar mirrors, and mount some blinkers in the front.

 

Thanks in advance!

A Trail Tech Vapor can replace your Tach and Speedo nicely. It adds a temp gauge as well.

About $100 street price. The one for DR650 would be compatible with first gen.

 

A $50 dashboard kit adds 4 idiot lights and better mounting for the Vapor.

I got her all back together :cool10:

I replaced the headlight

turn signals

flasher relay

Handlebar mirrors

thermal sensor

removed the cruise control which never worked anyway)

relocated the coolant overflow tank

replaced all the spark plugs

replaced the old gauges with a trail tech one

relocated all the electronics

ripped out the old wiring harness and made a custom one

as well as removing the air ride system

and thanks to Skydoc I put on progressive springs and a new battery.

 

Woo it was a lot of work but also a lot of fun!
