all those look nice. I'll try to do my own with some fiber glass with a bigger side and upper angle, I think it would be so sexier and so much easier to look at I guess. Anyway I'll make it this "my weekend project" lol. I'll post some pix later

They are autometer angle rings that make it angle like that.

I too like everybody else think that is too low for the gauges to be with vital info on them. Moving the radio down and getting the XE Sentra radio delete face plate seems like the most common things over the last few years.

Yeah they are angle rings, but modified so I can get three in that cubby hole.

I agree the gauges are pretty low, and esepcially hard with a helmet on. I'm thinking about swaping them with the radio's position since I don't care that much about music in my car anymore.

Theres a VW one that mounts the VDO gauges flush in a row of three. I think its like $20.

For that cheap, I'd rather not hole-saw it myself.

+1^, like to support people but $30 for a piece w/3 holes in it???

Also mounted it too low, I'd move the HU down there.

I think it's great the guy did the piece. I do like the radio delete panel a bit better, mainly because the gauges are a bit more within 'eye reach'. Many folks don't seem to like my solution as it adds to the A pillar blind spot, BUT they are RIGHT there. You'll notice I still put oil press in front of my nose. Would have loved to have found a neater pod, but the AutoMeter pod was the best I could come up with.

and IIRC they are full replacements...tho i know they dont have the pic up there anymore. it used to be...so i thought.

im still a fan of the radio delete panel and move the radio, for the cleanest look
