Need HELP! - Want to install a digital GSXR gauge on GS500

I~m more worried with the speed sensor and cables...

Hello Filipe! You are concerned about the correct things. The pre 03 GS only had mechanical inputs for the tach and speedometer. Starting in 03, some markets may have had an electric tach, but still a mechanical speedo. 04+ US market has mechanical speedo and electric tach.

There are several things to overcome to make a GS XR panel work on a GS. I seriously do not know that it can be done easily.

It would be much better to enjoy the simplicity of the GS.  

That said, there is an aftermarket computer that may be able to give you the new look you are desiring.  Look over this link.

The advantage of an analog gauge is that it gives information in an instant out of the corner of your eye; with a digital gauge, you have to read it.  The GSX-R has an analog tach, and it's a lot easier to note than the speedo.  I'd stick with your stock gauges.

Yeah I would rather order a veypor than messing with that and you get alot more useful features in a cool blue backlit screen.

Before i bought the veypor unit, i was thinking about putting a GSXR panel, but that would have been too much work for what its worth. The install of the veypor took me only the weekend, and i am sure i could have done it in 1 day just i was doing it on and off.

stefman you should do an install howto on the veypor. I'll be purchasing next paycheck.

The later model GSXR's use a pick-up sensor for the speedometer on the output shaft at the front sprocket. Basically a magnet and a 4 spline castle type nut. This is typical of all non-cable speedo's.

I could probably do one. Isnt that hard. Shipping is super fast. I ordered it on monday, and got it tuesday night. You gotta love xpresspost.

VERY NICE WORK!  I especially like the custom tail.

Even with high-comp pistons, carb work, etc. I have to call   on the "75-80hp".  Put it on a dyno.

You've done a really nice job on the cosmetics, it looks sharp.
