Hey I just bought a aftermarket guage could you please help me b telling me what coloris what from the original guage like blue is turn signal etc etc it be a big help I'm new to this and have no idea what wireis what off the original guage.
No way you're gonna get it installed like that! You need to get wiring-diagram and trace wires on paper. Then find and trace those wires on bike. Also use multimeter to verify signals.
[QUOTE=Denali;1338816]I haven’t seen any useful info on swapping to an aftermarket gauge cluster. So here goes. I bought a cheap digital cluster (SAMDO) on Amazon and it took me a long time to figure it out. But it is possible! Everything works like a charm. If anyone has any questions I’d love to help!
what did you do with all the negative cable’s just put them together?

WHat did that cost, I could use that for my F2/3 track bike,
Alright, Jon and everyone else reading. Yes there was custom work involved. I know it isn’t fun but it’s worth it. There are two clusters of wires that plug into the OEM cluster. The plugs look like this-
Here’s what you’ll need and what needs to be done.
1.Wiring diagram for bike
2. Wiring diagram for Universal cluster.
3. soldering iron
4. Redbull
5. multimeter
6. alligator clips (optional but it makes it way easier.
7. Patients and a couple of beers.
You need to take clip wires from these plugs and sort them out. (Leave some room for the wires in case you want to go back to OEM cluster. (2 inches is perfect)
Clip the aftermarket cluster wires at the plugs.
what you’re going to have to do is compare diagrams and connect the dots. I highly recommend doing one wire at a time and checking them off.
The easiest way to do this is to have the key in the on position and test what goes where
BIG HEADS UP. These bikes do NOT have a fuel gauge so I wired the oil temp to the fuel. A little weird I know but it works very well.
Another heads up. To pull power for the cluster I ran a wire from the ignition switch(red cable and ground) this allows a small amount of power to the cluster to keep time and miles. It also allows for the cluster to come on when the key is in the on position.
if you need any help just shoot me a message and we can exchange info. It’s a big task but if i can do it I’m sure you can too!
CHEERS AND GOODLUCK!
