All I can say is WOW. He sent me 2 black brackets [one split for wiring,one solid] at no cost for the parts or the shipping. I used the split version since my wiring was already installed and it went on in minutes,nice,tight and secure. A very cool way to get rid of the bulky Triumph stuff and the perfect end to a crappy work day. :upthumb:

that is clean!

now how do I get one?

Actually I don't mind the stock gauges too much, I'd like to come up with a new way to mount them though...just another project on the back burner.

A new mounting plate would help the stock gauges, mounted flat and less obtrusive.

sweatmachine -

Appreciate the comment, thanks! - if you already have a mini gauge or a set of mini gauges - and it's the same one or ones as rodburner's, bonneville billy's or loxpumps (the cans mic out to 2.39" OD, from Mikes XS, also apparently available from a source on ebay) - I'll be happy to fix you up, send me a PM and let me know if you want a solid single gauge bracket, a slotted single gauge bracket, or a R/H - L/H set.

Prototyping the R/H - L/H set for Lox's bike right now, hopefully we'll get them fitted this weekend and post some pics. However, I haven't found a good way to slot the R/H - L/H set to slide wires through and maintain the needed super-tight fit (brackets are .125" aluminum with fitted neoprene gasket) so if the gauges are already on, they would need to have wires undone, slipped through the R/H - L/H brackets, and then reconnected.

If you're going single gauge and are already wired up, then the slotted single bracket is probably the way to go - likewise, if you're going single gauge but not yet installed, I'd recommend the solid single
bracket - keep in mind, these mini gauge brackets are still very much in prototype stage - hope to hear good road test results on the slotted single from rodburner... ;-)

Cheers,

D9

I'll probably want to get one from ya!

Not cut/slotted, I'll get the new gauges and wire them through.

Here's my Speedometer/Tachometer set up, with two of D9's individual brackets.

Both with and without blacked out lower sections.
