Nice stickshift, thats exactly how my rgv trackbike is set up.

I found some warning lights, http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/V ... ts.php#mtg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The ones near the bottom of the page with the plastic bezel should look neat, they even sell a sticker sheet so you can add the right symbols. They also got some with chrome bezels complete with symbols.

Great minds think alike....

A pic of mine, not pretty as it's on my racebike (function over form always on this bike!).

I used some nice LED's in chrome bezels for the warning lights, the pics don't do justice to how nice they look. 4mm LED's might be better size for your dash.

A couple of pics of the dash properly mounted, used a piece of ally tubing and a spare engine mount spacer (perfect size) to space the dash from faring stay.

Still not decided on the warning lights so im leaving them off for the time being and getting it down for a mot. All going well i'l be taking it down to brands hatch monday for the PB trackday, anyone else going?

I think having the lights in their standard layout under the rev counter would look ok. Or, have them around the right side of the RA in a semi circle type thing?!

Edit: Ah, just seen your second lot of photos, doesn't look like they'll fit under the rev counter! :oops:

There quite shallow so i think there fit anywhere where theres space, its just the size of them thats putting me off.

I like the idea of the semi circle plan tho matt :up:

if you have an extra bucks, you can put extra meter like volt meter. i would prefer AutoMeter, they are magnificent.

IMHO, i think the dash is too big.
