docc 2,679 Report post Posted August 5, 2018 Fourteen pages of stuff to digest takes a while so take your time. Seems the Veglia gauges can be sold in a snap. Palo Alto Speedometer bought my speedo but the tach broke and my repair botched rendering it junk. I happened across this indicating a different approach: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Moto-Guzzi-V11-Sport-Custom-Aluminum-Gauge-Cluster-with-Koso-RX2N-Gauge-/162841932309 That’s fine as long you never have to look at it.... Ha! . . . . . . OTOH, these came out swimmingly, amstaf! Excellent the way you adapted the original gauge "cups." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amstaf 3 Report post Posted August 6, 2018 Creativity was lacking in the mounting system. The unused metal area serving no purpose is unsightly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JBBenson 195 Report post Posted October 24, 2018 Is that the ignition-on start-up cycle we are seeing? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docc 2,679 Report post Posted October 24, 2018 Nope. The Speedhut only bump their needles slightly on initial activation (nothing spectacular like the late model Guzzi's full sweep and full illumination). This is the recorded max speed displayed digitally while the needle sweeps up to show the retained measure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

al_roethlisberger 105 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 What size oil pressure and voltage gauges were used in the Le Mans fairing examples earlier in the thread that worked well? Speed Hut has 2 1/6" and 2 5/8". Also, how do the gauges know the difference to switch between day and night lighting, since on US bikes we can't disable our head and running lights? .....or is the night lighting in the gauges always on, but only noticeable when it gets dark?

docc 2,679 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 Pressure and voltmeter were scud's work, so we'll wait on his answer on the sizing. Al, correct, the lighting is always on. The faces and the needles are lit separately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

al_roethlisberger 105 Report post Posted January 11, 2019 FYI, looks like the Speedhut line has been discontinued: https://www.speedhut.com/about-speedhutgauges.html Speedhut Gauge Line: Discontinued The "Speedhut" line is currently being phased out. For an alternative, please consider our more feature rich options like the Legacy or Revolution lines. I don't know if they Legacy or Revolution are more expensive, but it appears they are the replacements and more "feature rich"? You decide ...but it appears that both the Legacy and Revolution are essentially the same thing (the speedos are identical), just with different sweep coverage and some warning lighting differences. Is the following new? Hot start satellite acquisition allows GPS speedo to function within 2-3 seconds of power up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docc 2,679 Report post Posted January 11, 2019 Pretty sure mine are "Legacy" and definitely have the "Hot start satellite acquisition", but I'll have to say it often takes up to ten seconds or more here in the rural Southern USA for satellite acquisition. During that time, the speedometer/odometer does not function and the trip meter (that I use for fuel range) is blank. For example, if I key the Sport on in my shop and it cannot acquire, I cannot see how many miles I have on the last fuel fill up. [edit: tonight, it took 10-15 minutes for the GPS to acquire in the shop which is deeply shielded by masonry walls, floors overhead, and some earth berming and A/C equipment just outside. Still, it did finally acquire even in this "basement." ] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speed Hut has 2 1/6" and 2 5/8". That was my LeMans, which is gone to a new home now. I don't recall which size the oil and volt gauges were, but I would guess I used the smaller ones. For mounting, I simply used flexible metal strap from hardware store - formed into a bracket, then painted. I use a split rubber hose between the metal strap and the gauge cups. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
al_roethlisberger 105 Report post Posted January 12, 2019 So I wonder if the Speedhut fuel level gauge would function if wired serially into the V11 fuel warning light circuit? And if so, for 2003+ tanks senders, would the incandescent bulb have to remain in the circuit? https://www.speedhut.com/instructions/2in_and_258in_rev_fuel_level_instructions.pdf https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18919 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
