Most of us, myself included, swap in F4i gauges. Easy to do. Hardest part: getting F4i gauges for reasonable prices

yes, a great idea, but im building a fighter, i should have specified. f4i cluster is a little too big for a naked bike, thanks though, im trying to keep it simple, speedo/tach.

Analog tachs are hard to find, most aftermarket gauges are all digital. The Trailtech Vapor is pretty cheap and looks to have the most usable of the bar graph type tachs.

I really wanted analog so I bought a Koso RX1, but it's almost 3x the price of the Vapor.

I haven't installed it yet, it shouldn't be any more difficult than normal for a universal aftermarket gauge. They cost around $300 US.

Any progress yet ? Im wiring in a universal too and have no idea what color wires go where (and to top it off, seems like no body else does either) But you are doing the same thing, so Im hoping you have figured it out...

So, Any progress

This one. I have everything wired up, Pink/Green to Sensor Power, Black wire grounded, but I don't know where they want the signal wire...

What color is the signal wire in our harness (WTF is the signal wire for that matter) And where will I find it ? I was thinking it was the solid pink one (that is already grounded out) but that would not make any sense.


HELP !!! I wanna know how bad I'm speeding.
