RE: Just put in my Blue Gauges..
Can't watch the vid on my smartphone.....these are just indiglow gauges I assume.
Please tell me they are reverse indiglows with only the numbers/lines lit.
If not they at least can shift between blue/green and have a brightness controller?
Full on indiglow gauges are a little stupid because they are distracting and for night riding your pupils/retinas take a while to adjust from the bright blue light back to focusing on the road.
Which is the reason everyone buys reverse indiglows and full indiglows are for ricers.

Your gauges look great. I've been to the site before, and considered having it done. I was reluctant to send my cluster.
Did you have to remove the front fairing to remove the cluster? I think you do, but I wanted to verify with somebody that has removed their cluster.

Hey what's up guys..
As for the gauges, yes they are the reverse glow. They are not too bright at all at night. i honestly don't even notice a difference driving with them at night vs the factory gauges. I mean, they look much better, but nothing distracting at all. As for taking out the cluster, yes you have to remove the front fairing. After that, there are 3 screws holding the gauge cluster in from the back. BE VERY CAREFUL removing the cluster itself after you have the screws out. There are plastic pieces that the screws go into on the back of the guages that can snap off very easily as you try to pull them out. They basically sit inside rubber gasket type things, that do require a little pulling to get them out. Just take your time and you should be ok. Just a recommendation, i would also take the side fairings off as well, as i found putting the front back on is a bitch with the sides still on.
Here is what they look like during the day with the bike off.
Any other questions, or if you guys want any other pics, just let me know..
