I just love instrument clusters done up in white face! Does anyone make these for a 1200S? I don't know if it would require a whole new set of gauges or just the dial faces swapped out.

OK, I was sitting on a Tiger the other day and the "cockpit" is simply gorgeous with all white dials everywhere! Honestly, the instrument cluster on the Bandit isn't all that pretty; even clusters from the old GS series big bikes often looked much better.

Ya, that would be pretty sweet to have a white guage faces. I like the white face guages on my Hemi Ram. It's easier to read with white IMO.

If you can get 10 or more people that want them, Street Racer Parts will make you Illumiglo faces in standard (black face white numbers/blue at night) or reverse.

Someone here tried to put together an order a few years ago, but couldn't come up with 10 people who would pay. (IIRC, there were 7 takers)

They are available on ebay from the UK.

for finding that!
Looks like they'd run you £19.95 + £3.00 shipping (~$41US) to get 'em, over to the USA.

Excellent! Thanks!

Man - those would look great. I love the white faces on the B4 clocks.

Now I just have to figure out how to get inside the gauges. Not too hard, hopefully.

I have a busted set off my 03 B12s, so I can say it is not that difficult to get it apart. Go in through the back and pull the dials out that way.

On the subject, does anybody know the availability of G2 1200 parts in the US? I have hit a brick wall with spares here in Australia and cringe at the cost of OEM parts.

I just had someone tell me that those dials are really ugly. They aren't as nice as the Tiger's, for sure, but I don't know of any others to compare to. You all think they're ugly?

From what I can see in the pic, which isn't the clearest, they look OK... but then I favor the black face over the white myself.
