Gauges! (that fit in the headlight bucket)

[schaubster]

Next question is what gauges are out there.


I want one that can fit in the headlight bucket. Digital is preferred so that it will be able to be flush.


I know about the acewell but curious if there are others out there.

read 124 times but no suggestions. Maybe most people are using their original honda ones.

what kind of gauges are you looking for? i found a 2" tach at princess auto (canadian store) and that's the only gauge i'm running. it's got a digital pickup that hooks to the coil and would fit easily in my headlight bucket if i wanted to put it there.

Looking for different options on digital gauges. I looked on Princess Auto but couldnt find any gauges.

What kind of gauges are you looking for?

My friend is using a digital bicycle speedo that's rated for 100mph+ and is the size of a digital watch face. He has it mounted onto his bottom triple tree and it's almost invisible unless you know what you're looking for. That could easily fit onto/into a headlight bucket.

This is the style of tach i have. If you do a search for 2" gauges you can find a ton of them - though i haven't been able to find a 2" speedo yet for less than $200. I think i paid $15 for my tach while it was on sale.

I don't know if it is what you are looking for but I run a small speedo that sits in my headlight bucket.

It measure 65mm (sorry UK metric here).

I like the looks of mechanical gauges but I heard that digital ones are better for in the bucket because they arent as deep.


Scotch - those glowshift gauges look interesting. Any idea if they're waterproof?



Stidds - Is that the standard speedo in the Venom bucket?

 

[stidds]

It is a universal mini speedo (65mm) in a CEV Tipo 105 unit.

Mine isn't specifically a glow shift unit - but it seems to be waterproof so far. I store my bike outside and rarely cover it. The gauge has been working fine for over 2 years now.

I love how you did the LED's. How did you go about getting that done?

you can get those leds at auto zone. they are basically a screw in unit where you would drill for a hole and the led bulb has threads on the bottom to where you run a nut to tighten against the triple tree. i have one on mine for neutral light, i got it at autozone for about 10 bucks
