Hey Rocky Mtn. Busa,
I got your email. To answer the question, I had to remove the whole cluster from the bike. I then removed the screws holding the cluster together. The cluster is essentually an electronic board encased in two halves of plastic. Just carefully remove the board from the case and you'll have access to the guages and needles. The cluster itself is attached by two bolts onto the frame. When you remove the inner panels near the cluster, you will see the two bolts. Again, the guages I got from Street Racer Parts came with detailed instructions. I'd say it took me a good two hours to do.
I hope that helps.
