Most o' that would be somethin' called "instrumentation," a thing which are sorely lackin' in many of today's one-LCD-does-everything-if-you-know-which-combinations-of-buttons-to-push motobeasties. Don't let Cheap see it - he might git ideas.
In particular, that's the cockpit of an R100S, and is identical to mine (I have the S fairing - more nekkid that way), 'cept I don't have the cylinder head temperature gauge. (It's an AIRHEAD. Who cares how hot it is? Can't do nothin' 'bout it anyway, but some folks just like knowin', eh? :razz: )
The writin's all in some furrin language, somethin' 'bout "Reifenluftdrucks" and "unter der sitzbank" an' such. Looks like a 'splosion inna Scrabble factory.
An' that gizmo in the middle is a prehistoric version o' what the kids nowadaze call a "steering damper." It has four positions - from "this-thing-ain't-ever-gonna-point-in-one-direction" to "how-the-heck-do-I-get-the-handlebars-to-turn."
I need to get a new shot o' mine - I liked the Napoleons so much, I got 'em for der Beemerschööter too, and ditched the clear windshield for a solid black plexi one. Looks quite nasty.
