    Digital Gauges Guinea Pig.

    So, I bought a thing for my 82 750T.
    Amazon.com
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKWQY9ZS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

    I saw somebody write about installing one of these on an 1100E on one of the GS FB pages (first red flag?)
    It's the first of it's kind that I've seen that used stock speedo/tach cable attachments.
    Cheap, not super attractive, but the form factor is almost right. The spacing isn't quite right for my bike, but I have a spare gauge bracket for my bike that I think I can move these digital gauges on to with little fuss, or fabricobble something to make it fit.
    I should have no issues with most of the wiring. But I want to do it so that it's easily reversible so I can go back to my stock gauges if I really hate these.
    The gauge has an engine failure light. I'll either try to connect my oil pressure sensor, or side stand to this. Don't know yet.
    Should arrive today. I'll play with it this weekend.
    Why? Why not!

    Can't wait to see what happens when I hit 9th Gear!

    I did one on my '83 850G that was all digital, and it took some doing to get the tach and speedo dialed in. I was wishing I had the cable option, but now that it's installed and working, it's not bad at all.

      Or a thousand miles an hour!
      1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

      2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

        i have an 86 GoldWing that i stripped down. and because it came factory with digital gauges, i figured it would be easy to install another digital gauge. it was pretty easy to install, took some mathing to figure out the speedo parameters. the fuel level does just like the factory one did, (never shows completely full, but when it gets under half is pretty close to accurate) and i have some bad connection on the gear indicator for 3rd and 4th gear. i mounted it at a less than optimal angle, so i have to duck to see it in full daylight. otherwise it works, but i do have to figure out the best way to fix the temp gauge, as it uses a different resistance range than the factory sensor, so it is always HOT...

        if you figure this out and it works well, might be something to look into. seems decent looking.
