Nothing like familyMAN's report, but I ordered five gauges that should look OEM with amber lite font at night.

Cool that you are going with amber lighting. Keeps OEM feel. What brand gauges did you go with? Going to replace the stock 3 also I assume? I have the gauges I want to use but haven't tackled the dash yet. Think I will get it running first:D
Much more accurate :suspect:Quote:

I went with Revolution series by Speedhut.
I will have a thread / blog about how well they do or do not match OEM amber when they come in.
Pulled my rear dr750 for a return line leak and I find this. Attachment 6505
Have timing figured out for the weekend yet? Don't bring too good of a camera; my garage is a freakin' mess:D. You taking the extra interior will help!!Quote:

If it makes you feel any better in advance, this is as much of my garage as I'm willing to show off. It's a mess and way too packed.
To add something of value to the thread, in the last few days these arrived for my 3S (even if I can't install them for a while):

Realized today that my photobucket is horrifically overdue for an overhaul and organization.
LOL, that helps!
Gave my tan leather interior to Sergechronos today and BS'd about 3S's of course:D.
Also completed the front WG dump which now goes between oil pan and o2/downpipe. Perfect:p.....

How are you liking the new AEM S2? I know I loved mine.
