Blue Guages

I found this site Blueguages.com. Have any of you used this guy? The feedback looks great. I'm just a bit skeptical about sending my instrument panel off to somebody I don't know. I think the Busa would look GREAT with some blue lighting.
 
They look cool, but for a small amount more, I would order from SPEEDHUT.com
and have some REALLY custom guages.
You can build em how ya want them!
 
Thanks for the heads up. Those are some nice looking guages too. I can't find an option to purchase the blue LCD's on speedhut. The blue clock and odometer were what had me really excited about the ones I listed.

I asked the same question on here some time ago and i got some positive responses on bluegauges.com's work. I heard they are extremely quick on the turn around time too. Im planning on doing mine also when I get my inners painted. I cant stand my orange LED's on the clock and odometer.

He does great work

He did mine in red with blue lcd screens. The red is a deep red. A lot of the other gauges the red looks like pink

Mine are on his site. I sent them out on a monday ups ground. I had them back on friday the same week.

I would send any one I know to Scott

Had him do my gauges to all blue with red behind the redline. Looks awesome but he forgot to solder the pins on the board for the four gauges. So when I got it back everything looked great but none of the gauges worked. Ended up just soldering them myself instead of more down time for return and repair. The ones shown on his website are actually mine. Looks awesome even with the mishap.

JT2,

Is that one of bluegauges gear indicators up top (the zero)? Can you show a picture of your gauges in the daylight? Was the gear indicator easy to install?
 
It is the same brand as the one he sells but I bought mine from a different vendor for a good reason. These guys are the best I have seen with customer service www.riderstation.com and they have a model that he doesn't.
the link below should take you directly to the gear indicator page. If it doesn't, go to the web site above and follow the links to it (Acumen data tool).

The reason I went with a different vendor is these guys sell the same gear indicator with a wiring harness specifically for the Busa so no wiring, cutting, or splicing is needed. The only way to go. The new harness just plugs in line with the gauge harness and gives you two molex pigtail connectors, one for the gear indicator and one for an optional shift light/tach sweep. This route is about $30 more but is well worth it and only takes about 5 min's to install. A couple of things to keep in mind:

-you cant order the hard wired version and then add a bike specific harness later. The indicator for the harness comes with a special connector that plugs straight into the molex pigtails.
-the blue is a little harder to read than the red if direct sunlight is on it, but not so bad where it is mounted under the screen and is well worth the look if you have the blue gauges.
-the indicator is very accurate but can sometimes be just a touch slow in registering the gear, still pretty quick. On occasion it gets confused on downshifting but always corrects itself quickly if the bike is moving.
-if you pull in the clutch to coast to stop and down shift through the gears without the neutral light clicking on, it may get confused but again it fixes itself once it moves again or you click it into neutral while stopped to tell it where it is. it figures the gears based on the speed and tach signals relationship.

I bought it to quite looking for 7th gear when shifting, I guess I cant count. Very satisfied though, I will try to get of pic of it during the daytime today and post it.

$115 that includes shipping w/$400 insurance
 
That is not too bad of a price but, I can see a lot of people turning it away and going with an easier mod. I will do it eventually, I can't live with my gauges not being exactly the way I want.
