You can use them if you don't care if the spedo is correct or not. 220 face on 185 gauge will be off by 20%. If you correct the spedo, the odo will be off by 20%.

No thanks

BusaWhipped is right on all counts. I used a YellowBox to correct my 220 mph faceplate mod and the correction factor was about 20% downward. And yes, that threw the odometer off by 20% on the low side. So when I travel a true 100 miles, the odometer increases by only 80 miles. I can live with that.

But I still don't know if the needle will move past its original 186 mph position should I ever go that fast, because when I turn the key to start the bike and the tach and speedo needles do that intial sweep, the speedo needle sweeps forward only to the original 186 mph position. If anyone can confirm that the 220 mph speedo will actually indicate speeds approaching 190, let me know.

Did mine. There wasn't a hole for the needle stop. I pulled it out with pliers.
My speedo is way off. Not put the yellew box on yet.
But I thought the correction would cause the odometer to register more miles when calibrated.

OK, you asked for it. The odometer needs to be adjusted downward by the Yellowbox when 220 MPH faceplates are used. Look at your 186 gauge where 100 mph is at 12 'oclock. After installing the 220 speedo faceplate, 12 o'clock reads approximately 115 MPH. Without a Yellowbox adjustment, the speedo would read 115 MPH when in fact you're doing 100. In order for the new speedo to be accurate, the needle needs to be at appoximately 11 o'clock, the 100 mph position on the new speedo. But that's about 80 MPH as currently calibrated. The bike needs to be told that it's not covering it's currently calibrated distance, but something about 20% less, 80 miles. That puts the needle at the 11 o'clock position, 100 MPH on your new 220 speedo. So when you sell your bike that reads 24000 miles, it really has 30000 miles on it.

I love those 220 gauges. See them in my future. Maybe bluegauges will do a group buy at the first of '08 when we get hit with a dozen group buys looking for the tax refund

 

[HiYaBruceA]

The gauges are definitely cool. White during daylight, blue or torquoise in the dark, changeable by flipping a switch. There is also a dimmer if you don't want the gauges to be too bright when riding at night.

I've got the 220's on mine, I'm not sure how far off the odometer is reading, It seems about right on when I drive to and from work compared to my car. And the speedometer seems pretty accurate. I'm not certain what the previous owner did with it.

Love my gauges as well. Quick question... when you adjust for the 20-21% correction and it effects mileage... won't it also throw your MPG off by the same percentage? I assume the cpu uses a ratio of fuel gauge calculated by mileage (which is off)

If you upgrade the speedo with one of the white gauge faces you will need a speedo healer so the needle runs right.
