Title: Identifying gauges? Post by: 671M900 on May 23, 2011, 04:44:20 AM I've got these neato carbon faced gauges with tach, and plugs in using the older canon plug style. They're in KM/h btw, if that helps, any idea what they are? I looked at the DP gauges for various years, but no go, I assume this is a euro gauge of some sort?

If the tach is cable driven they're off an SS of approximately the same vintage or a bit earlier. Title: Re: Identifying gauges?

Time to refinish the faceplate! Title: Re: Identifying gauges? Post by: junior varsity on May 23, 2011, 06:55:55 AM The 900 fixer-upper I picked up had those same gauges! Not DP, not sure of manufacturer of bezel/receptacle.

CEV, fairly common on Italian bikes. Title: Re: Identifying gauges? Post by: junior varsity on May 23, 2011, 08:22:04 AM Not the gauges, the carbon bezel cluster.
Title: Re: Identifying gauges? Post by: ducatiz on May 23, 2011, 08:28:57 AM Not the gauges, the carbon bezel cluster. german company, name escapes me now. they made complete cf kits for ducatis in the 90s Title: Re: Identifying gauges? Post by: Nomad on May 23, 2011, 12:58:08 PM They are Road Racing gauges.... I had a tach from them that the cover broke on, impossible to find a replacement. Mine had both the "Road Racing" and the "CEV" on it, I guess yours just has the CEV.

Mine had both the "Road Racing" and the "CEV" on it, I guess yours just has the CEV. Not sure if Road Racing sold them, but they are listed in the DP catalogue. The tachometer is part 96500699C . I am looking at a photo of it right now "Contagiri elettronico analogico" and yes, I do have old gia.ca.moto and dp catalogues lying around Title: Re: Identifying gauges? Post by: junior varsity on May 23, 2011, 01:45:28 PM hmm... my carbon DP speedo/tach housing looks nothing like that. I didn't think it was a DP part (why make two?), and I'm pretty sure its not from roadracing (as a roadracing original product) as far as I know, which sold the aluminum gauge/cluster and had different 'idiot lights'. Kind of like how there was the carbon gauge cluster manufactured by RCV Special Parts in Torino that was on the Motowheels M944 project bike.
Title: Re: Identifying gauges? Post by: junior varsity on May 23, 2011, 01:48:15 PM Here's what my DP looks like:

Title: Re: Identifying gauges? Post by: junior varsity on May 23, 2011, 02:15:28 PM well that's what I was asking all aboot.
Title: Re: Identifying gauges? Post by: greenmonster on May 24, 2011, 12:39:28 AM Speedo original Eu.
Tach DP. RoadRacing sold the same, added their name on face, billet gauge panel w idiots & plastic housing. jv, yours is DP. Title: Re: Identifying gauges? Post by: junior varsity on May 24, 2011, 04:18:23 AM Right - I got mine as a left over after they were discontinued from Jeff at MonsterParts. The one that came on the other 900 looks identical to the one the OP posted. here's a shot of it:
