Hey guys, short time lurker and first time posting.
I picked up a '12 last year and have been riding semi-frequently. Blind as a bat so while I can see everything around me (cars, people, lights, etc) I cannot see the dash very well, especially at night. In fact, at night I have to guess my speed as I cannot read the stock red backlight on black dash (without glasses or contacts in). I have attempted to do a bunch of searching for dash replacements, digital conversions, etc. but found that all I really want to do is replace the stock backlight and faces of the gauges with a more high contrast face.
All the sites I have been following are either generic places ie: JC Whitney, or are custom shops that appear to no longer be around, even though their websites are still up. Most don't even have bike listings beyond around 2k7 (Gen 1).
Can anyone point me in the direct of a reputable source for replacement dash faces and/or light swaps?
Apologies as I am sure this has probably been asked a dozen times but my searching has not brought much up here as well, except for the links that led me to the old sites.
