80 quid is a lotta lolly for what is essencially a bit of plastic! :o
Maybe a graphics place could do a decent vinyl sticker to go on the inside over the standard dials?

yeah but if you already have mph clocks and want a little va va voom to the clocks area ,maybe a little graphics wouldn't hurt,but £80 price tags do...

I hear you..but thse bad boys glow on the dark :o

I recall steve was working hard to get this stuff sorted....it was a while back though..we were also looking at alloy sidestands and yokes from RichoneNZ before he stopped playing out with us on here.

An alloy sidestand would be great still...

if you are still interested in doing the stands why not contact gazzahh and speak to him,maybe he can say it's easy done, who all wants one, or maybe he'll not have the time and couldn't be assed

maybe you could start a group buy thread to see who many stands could be sold and maybe that would sway him into doing them

Mine do when you turn the lights on :D

Redial do custom dials if you have a look at their custom section, they might be able to make some cheaper if somone contacts them?

Their dials for my 35 and 24 were spot on. :)

I was looking at getting the redial set for £30 you cannot go wrong - but those backlit EL gauges look awesome - ME WANTS!!!

I have checked out their site........ and errr on the checkout page where it asks for your credit card details, its not over https or using any form of encryption - which means your credit card number will be winging its way 5000miles over the pond in plain text. For those of you not computer savvy it basically means, you are at risk of having your credit card details nabbed if you use their credit card payment method - its not really their fault. Anyway - if you do go ahead and order from them use the paypal payment option.

Back on to the gauges it looks like 10 people have signed up already, leaving 10 more needed until there are enough in the group buy for them to start producing them, im def going to go in on the list once we get more peeps on board.

I'm gonna contact re-dial and see if they can do something similar over here in the UK and try and get an estimate, see if we can get some competition (lower prices) between firms :D

I wouldn't really worry too much about sending a credit-card number as plaintext over the internet, the chances that somebody is sitting there sniffing packets to capture this information is really low, even lower that they'll capture the rest of the information needed to use it.

Besides, you'd be surprised how many 'large' organisations that use an encryption scheme such as SSL to receive your details have a rather lax attitude to what they do with your details once they have them.
