How are things going with these gauges? Have you managed to get them operational?
They look pretty good and a cheap option if they work. :good2:

hey, yes had them working in the pic, only thing that may be out is the speedo,  as it takes a second or so to re,act when slowing,  and seems it cant be adjusted
unless you ride bikes, I mean really ride bikes, then you just won't get it

( 88 ) Fj 1200  fairly standard , + blue spots

huh?   Dont you have to enter the wheel diameter (in millimeters) into the computer to calibrate it to the size wheel you're running?   I've never seen a digital speedometer that was only for one size tire/wheel.

factory adjusted, they have a list of ones to choose the size

I'd be very surprised if a yellowbox or speedohealer wouldn't do the job of giving you options for rollout corrections.

Seems like a really dumb decision on their part though.
