I Want Custom Gauges

[BMW5]

Okay, I know I want some custom gauges, but I have no idea what to get. Should I buy some standard gauges that I have seen with the Kanji from Ebay, or have them made by Webslinger? If I go with the standard, I believe I would choose the white face with the red Kanji. I prefer to have them custom made, but again I have no idea what would look good on my bike. I'm not big into skulls or anything like that. I want something unique, and maybe with a Japanese theme. If you have any ideas, please post a pic. If I choose your pic or design, I will not only give you the credit, but send you a little something via PayPal. If I don't make a decision by April 1, 2011, I'm going to just keep the stock gauges. I say April 1, because that would give me time to get the gauges ordered and shipped to me before I take the bike to my mechanic. He is installing a few things on my bike, and I was going to have him install the gauges at that time too.

Thanks,
BMW5

Yeah guys, I really need help on this one. I know we have a lot of talented members on the .org with great ideas. I'm just having long term mental block as I have thought about this for weeks.

Can you post some pics of what you are thinking?

 

[RussellJ]

Well if you are going to redo the gauge faces you need to redo the LEDs definitely. The orange is fugly. Shoot Joe at webslinger a message and he can send you a bunch of stuff.

Webslinger
Scroll down about halfway and there is a categories section with gauge ideas.

BMW5 that **** is nice i need a new paint job now and i mean now.. i was looking at gauges on ebay but i dont think i like them, sooooo please post pics and where you get them so i can make up my mind.. also you and i have the same grab bar and break/clutch levers. i also have the foot pegs to match to

 

[RussellJ]

Your gauge faces need to be red and silver for sure... Im thinking maybe white for the background color. Like a Red Kanji on the tach with like the silver effect Joe did on my gauges but more extravagant on the effect... Hard to explain. Ill see if i can get Joe to make it.

Russell,

That would be great!! I have a chrome gauge cover to install, and I figured I might as well do the gauges at the same time. The carbon fiber sticker on the triple tree is coming off too.

Russell,

Those look great!! I really like the swords!! Maybe he can replace the "S" with a dragon or something. I will contact Joe and see what other designs he has to offer. I'll let you know what he says and what I decide to go with.

Not for me, but it looks good. I want a Japanese theme for my gauges. Where did you find the pics?

 

[busabeast]

webslingers site! he's got a ton of pics... sections include 'animals', 'angels/demons', and i think he has a dedicated dragon section too...
