That looks great.

 

Gauge setup looks great. Any more pics of you making it? I am wanting to build something out of fiberglass and got a very slow start on it last time I was home from work and hope to finish it next time home.

 

Love the gages. I have considered something similar. What did you use as the cup for each gage? Do you have any pictures during the building process?

 

2" pvc was the perfect size for my gauges... they slid in and held snug

As far as pictures go...

Tubes epoxied in place...


Layering the fiberglass matting...




Smoothing things out...


Dip...


Installed...



It needs some touch up work... but its good enough at the moment.. lol

Nice, loving this build

 

Then how do the gages hold in? I would assume you just shortened the "legs" on the retainer? Thanks I might make this a project next weekend.

 

Might sound ghetto... but nothing is holding them in... lol

The fit on the 2" is snug... once pushed into place... it takes a light tap on the back side to get them back out... cant pull them out from the front... do I didn't mess with "bolting" them in... didn't see a point.

Its not a bad little project really... I happened to be doing some fiberglass work on a friends bike and figured I'd tinker with it at the same time

My A Pillar gauge pod does not have anything holding them in, never used the normal hold downs and its been like that 7 yrs they have never moved or came out unless I removed them. If everything is sized right is a snug fit. Nice Job, I applaud your creativity.

 

Sounds legit to me!

 

I think we found the reverse issue... with help from Jake and the forum... the rear servo pin was way too short... welded it up and got it most of the way back together last night.

Not sure if I'll have time to finish it tonight or not... but it should be back together by Wednesday.
