Title: Aftermarket gauges?
Post by: billster on October 13, 2005, 12:08:32 PM

My big 'nit' with the nekkid Bandits is the unsightly gauges.  GAWD-awful looking.  Would like to go to something much smaller/unobtrusive.  Found some GREAT mini-digital pods to mount on the bar but $600+!!  :shock:

Has anyone found any alternative to gauges that are compatible to Bandit circuitry?

There's aftermarket stuff:

Veypor (http://www.veypor.com/)

Dakota Digital (http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=results/Category_ID=235/home_id=60/mode=cat/cat235.htm)

Ace (http://www.banditmania.co.uk/digital_clocks.htm)

There's at least one other one out there that I can't remember the name of... (Accu-something, I think) it's similar to the Ace unit, but looks nicer, IMHO.

Thanks, Paul.  That slim Dakota is the one I was talking about.....$$$$$ :shock:  but nice as all hell.

Veypor is interesting but that round ACE is the ticket.  Wondering now how compatible the wiring would be with the Bandit.....I'd imagine it's a plug-up.  Yeah...that ACE is nice!

I found the other one, it's Acumen, (http://www.acumen-electronics.co.uk/acatalog/Acumen_Instrumentation.html) the same folks that make the digital gear indicator kits.

Looks like it's a lot cheaper if you buy it from Knreedraggers.com (http://www.kneedraggers.com/list/5.6/manu/Acumen)

I love the look of my B4 clocks but that Veypor is really cool.  If I ever decide to a more radical streetfighter look, I'd consider that.

Yeah...the Veypor is very cool...as is that round ACE.  (...and I'm saving alot of $$ on gas with my motorbike...HAHAHAHA!)
