I just got back from overseas and I took my bike to the local dealer to get it tuned up. Well they called me immediately after working on it and they told me that the gauges are broken. Honda wants to charge me $450 for a brand new one. Well I did a little shopping on the internet and I found that I can get OEM gauges for $250. In the process, I also found some aftermarket gauges that are around $100 more. Koso makes one in particular RX1N . Has anyone ever dealt with aftermarket gauges? Are they hard to install at all? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

 

well i guess i will be the first one to do this then. if anyone has come across this issue give me a private msg or something. i'd like to hear your input

 

Not sure if this qualifies, but I installed an Acewell on my scooter because the stock speedo was in chinometers. It was pretty easy; the hardest part was drilling the brake rotor so I could mount the magnet for the speedo pickup (went from cable speedo to electronic). Other than that, it was simply a matter of connecting the wires from the gauge to the correct wires on the scooter. I'd imagine the gauges you speak of are of similar difficulty- somewhere between changing a light bulb and changing the oil...

 

i think the basic is just plug and play...they have to conect to the stock wiring, because otherwise you'll need a mechanic to install them, if they need wiring modification...
and they haveused gauges on ebay for less then 150$...just go with this IMO

 

do you have a bigger picture of those? they look hot!

 

Im in the process of ordering this gauge. I will post pics once i get it installed properly.
