Today I remembered I have a decent looking set of green faced gauges that I forgot I bought two years ago. They only have 10k miles on them. I got them from a guy chopping up his bike into a bobber. Still like the faded blue gauges better. ;D

I think the gauges and the bike look great as they are well done. You haven't really gone for originality so why do you have to change them to green? if you like them as is leave them, I would

I'm not changing to green, everybody has green gauges:D. I was just saying that I had found a green set that I bought two years ago in case the blue gauges fail. Thanks for the compliment on my build. ;D

Well I finally got the correct jets and a nice day to test ride the bike. It is running great now that I went up to 42 pilots and 105 main jets. Now it's time for some break in runs so I can make sure everything is okay. I'm ready to start having some fun on it, can't wait to see how it handles at speed. ;D
