Hey JP,

Is that custom backlight gauge you got the white version from bluegauges, or did you do that yourself? You've ridden it at night since you got it? If so, does it kill your night vision or anything?

I did it myself. It's a nice clean look and it is not too bright at all, Hardly see it during the day and it's perfect at night

Very nice. It looks great!

I'm a soldering noob, so I think I'm sending mine off to be done, but great job on yours.

Cut down the can. Sanded the mid pipe. Brushed instead of polished the can (scotch brite) and mid pipe. The end cap had a little rash too so I moved the can farther down to cover that up!

I love those heal guards. Wish i would of thought of those first. How thick are they?
With regards to the gauge i like the white seems a bit more clean looking and i think i have a few burnt out lights do you have a link to the build?

1/8th inch on the guards. I don't have a link to the build. Just before and afters. I forget to take pictures when I'm working If you're curious on the LED change jeffjones has a good writeup in the how to section
