Tidy looking instruments you have added there Dennis.
Some interesting modifications there. Unfortunately Anno Domini has dictated that I have to maintain the the normal riding position these days, thinking of erecting a hydraulic lift to get me off the bike at the end of a good day out! At the risk of sounding "picky", I zoomed in on your pics and couldn't help noticing the angle of your gear change lever to your Johnson Rod/adjustment bar. It looks as though when making an upward change, the rod will perform a rearward and slightly upward motion, whereas the splined arm wants to go rearwards and downwards. Rather like the cases that used to be often seen on cable/rod drum brakes when the shoes were worn and all the slack had been used on the adjustment. Gave lots of feel, but no effect. Maybe it's possible to to move the operating arm round on the spline to a slightly more vertical position and lengthen the rod. Could possibly give a more precise feel to the gearchange. If it's a trick of the camera angle then I will eat a double portion of humble pie. Stay Safe. Mike.
I think I'd have stopped at 2 gauges, oil pressure and volts. Both are useful to know. I can't see any reason for air/fuel or oil temp myself, if I want to know if the oils hot I just feel the engine, if I burn my hand, the oils hot Seriously though the position of the top 2 gauges is exactly where I also fitted mine in 1979, I mounted them in a sealed pod to stop rainwater getting on them, the oil pressure was useful BUT although you say you can keep an eye on them you don't really. I had an oil filter collapse on the motorway, this resulted in severe loss of oil pressure and the first real warning was the oil light not the gauge, your so busy with your eyes on the road at high speed you don't get a chance to look at the gauges except occasionally. The warning light though does attract your attention. Not detracting from the idea, just giving you real life feedback.
