Sorry for lack of pic's but Photobucket just won't cooperate for me at the moment.

I have an Acewell gauge mounted on a custom dash I made to house the stock gear position indicator and a single LED charging monitor. The bracket for the dash is copied from the stock gauges and mounts in the stock location.

I also made a fly screen using a piece of acrylic perspex I picked up from eBay and heated up to curve to shape. I made a couple of aluminium brackets to use the headlight bolts to mount it. For such a small screen it deflects an awful lot of the buffeting off me.

From what I've read online about the emgo fairings is that they're made like a red plastic cup. You're much better off getting something from Airtech like posted above ^^

Yeah, right after the previous posts, I recalled one on their site and quickly found it, AJSM4.

I was able to get some links...



Front view shows the fly screen I made also:

All very good ideas. I was thinking of using a spare gauge set I had from my 65082 Maxim, till I remembered it only has an 85 mph speedo.

The 85mph gauge is not a bad thing Here in New York State I got pulled over 5th gear WFO on my 80 1100e and the only ticket was a over 85 in a 65mph Zone

what did you do with you gauges...i delete the big light center thing out of mine and made my own smaller one...but im getting tired of this look...

anyone have a center mounted speedo? or anything neat

I've still got a TON of work still to do, these are mostly mock up and fitting/fabrication pics. On hold, having another spinal fusion surg. on 14th.

I decided to go with a Maier, and the stock gauge set-up. It fit's nicely, like they were meant for each other.

I machined down a stock '82 top triple, leaving the ign., part of bar mounts, and gauge mounts, to attach to the GSXR top triple. Steering lock is at the right angle and location, and is FULLY functional.

If you're looking for a way to tidy up the dials on your bike you might want to check out this guy over at the New Bonneville forum. He makes the most beautiful stuff out of CNC aluminium to suit Triumphs and I would imagine that some of what he does would suit a GS. Here is a link to his section of the New Bonneville forum: http://www.newbonnevilleriders.com/f...splay.php?f=21

His work is seriously amazing.

Definitely some nice stuff there Jimmy... getting one for yours?

[nikosg]

some interesting ideas going on guys...

really want to change my front set up.. up...
especially now that my speedo is playing up, and the needle is getting stuck a lot.

Nah not for me, Pete. I have only a speedo but have a tacho kit on the way - I quite like the stock speedo/tacho dash on the Bonnies.

Cool, haven't seen the instruments close up on new Bonnies yet... but my eyes have been taken by the few Scramblers I've seen in the metal... those pipes... and especially the one I saw that had the Arrow 2 into 1... oh yeah!

[gs850cafe]

is it possible to put an electrical tach on out bikes? i can get a gsxr 750 cluster possibly for free or super cheap

or does someone have the ratio for the tach and speedo?
