FZR White Gauges - Interested? Need help.

Post by ragedigital »

Y-G is in talks with a guy who can do white vinyl to cover the stock FZR gauges. (FZR 1000,600 400) If a group buy is done, then the cost is around $36 + ~$7 shipping.

I need to get a list of those who are interested. This is NOT a definitive list. We won't ask for your money until everyone approves the design.

Next - we need dimensions of the gauges. Does someone have a spare FZR400 or FZR600 speedo unit that they can tear apart and take some measurements? red lines for the tacho for each FZR size would be good as the group can be FZR and any size at no extra cost

Interested List ::
1. Y-Geo. (FZR 600)
2. kilika2 (FZR 600)
3. Mawler (FZR 600)
4.Old-Fogey (FZR 600)
5.Chris Dovey (fzr 1000)
6.
7.
8.

I *think* they're calibrated the same, just the US ones are printed with mph vs km/h.
