Default Gauge Lights

I have the Light Cool Blue Paint and replaced the 4 small gauges with blue and was about to send my speedo and tach off to marty when the Mrs. (aka boss-lady) said she thought it was to much blue so I have orders reds from superbrightleds to replace the 4 gauges, Does anyone have some pictures of all red lit up so I can show her a side by side comparison?
Going Red will at least save me from doing the radio

Default red leds

I have the red and I like it. I did not do the speedo and tach as I like the clear contrast in the center. I also have the red in my fairing and lower speakers. I will try to get u a pic.

This was one of the first simple mod's that I did to my RG as you can see by the low mileage....... not touching the speedo and the tach.

well, the 4 small gauges have replaceable led bulbs. just take them out, and replace with the color of your choice.

the speedo and tach, however, are much more complicated. that requires disassembly of the gauge, and soldering/desoldering leds on to the circuit boards. a task best left to the professionals (imo).

Go to the DIY thread and watch the stickie on fairing removal and you can do it.

Price the speedo and tach, that alone will explain leaving those leds to the pros
