Title: I guess I'll call it the murder project
Post by: Jetpuller on February 25, 2013, 03:06:01 PM
I trade a gun for my GS500, it was laid down on its side tho. After this weekend I have changed the forks, triple clamp, k&n filter, flush mount front lights, Signal eliminator tail light, and have gave it a little paint. this is what I have done this weekend, my new gauge set up will be here this week along with my new muffler....

Removing the bottom trim off the rear flare, making a small cut to make room, and re doing the wires to put into the stock plug, total of thirty minutes.

How simple was it to upgrade to those gauges? Or was it like that when you got it?

I wired it up last night took me an hour, the only thing shady ab it is how the speed sensor is mounted(with wireties to my strut :thumb:) but I'm waiting on the adapter for the speed cable. in the mean time the magnet speed pick up is working for me.

How much did the set of gauges cost you? Did you take pictures? If so you should post a how to thread here when you get spare time. I have seen this done once before with this same speedometer, but instructions weren't exactly clear. Looks good O0
