Also, meant to ask. Where's the ignition now if the totally awesome speedo occupies that space?

Tucked up under the tank.  Kind-of difficult to find the key-hole w/gloves on but not too bad...  ;D

Where did you get that speedo from anyway?

I'm here for a good time, but not a long time.

Well done Stew!  I really like it, and again, you managed to make it different than anything I have ever seen.

I hadn't seen the speedo face before... looks really good. How'd you get a Motogadget like that?

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Haven't dyno'd it, but I'm sure it's off a few HP w/o a cross-over pipe or a true 2-into-1, but the aesthetics wouldn't have either of those on this one so...it's down a few HP.  Customer is coming off a 695 motor, so ANYTHING done to this DS1000 will still feel like a huge improvement!

I ask because if the increase in awesomeness is greater than the loss of hp then it would be something that would have to go on my to do list.

5%-7% down on hp would be worth it imho.

I've ordered so much from them (actually....ALL FlightCycles built for customers thus far have run MotoGadget gauges....), that they did a 'special build' just for this bike at my request.

Make sense now.  I've been all over their website and had never seen that "face" before.

I love the look of their stuff.

Yeah, clicked that link when I saw the gauges on "allegra". Very nice stuff, albeit expensive! Oh, and although I'm extremely happy you're going to NM I wish we could have gotten to hang a bit more. You're a real stand up guy Stu!

I'm sure it's not really gonna be used on the dirt. Or at least I hope not!  ;)
