Default f4i gauge mod

So, i figured, the bike is all apart being painted pearl white. why the hell not make the gauges look as good as the plastics. So i had my friend order and install the leds. A well spent $10 for the leds, and pizza to install.

Also, gonna take the guages apart again, and plastic weld some dividers in the upper houseing so the colors don't blend as much. There will still be a very little but not as much.

Befor (forgot to take a befor so im useing a pic of when i got the bike 4 months ago)


After

Looks good.

I would have put a white one under the redline and then you don't get that smudge of red on the 14k.

All in all looks good though.

Well we didn't order enough white, plus i didn't think this threw 100%. was just a spur of the moment kinda thing. But im sure a black divider in the gauges will fix that... i hope.

does this require soldering or just replacing the bulbs?
