Added coolant temp, oil temp and oil pressure gauges.
The gauge holder was part of the kit (you can buy them separately) But had to design and make a cover for the side.
Modelled in 3D, unfolded the surface to have a cut sheet and cut and glued the cover.
Will share the 3D model just have to clean it up.
Still need to wire them up, but already installed the sensors.

Well done! Looks close to a factory piece now..much like a Syncro console.

Thanks!
Here is the 3D model:

Here's my contribution:
Typical Speed Hut gauge replacement, but with a center screen that gives lean angle, outside temp and humidity, low coolant, and check engine. The rest of the idiot lights from the center section transfer over to the gauges (coolant temp, voltage, oil pressure, low fuel, turn signal, and high beam indicators. |

That is rad! Did you create that center piece? Love the tilt angles...that would be so nice to level a camp spot!

I gutted the center lights and added an Arduino/screen combo that has a sensor board with tilt and a thermometer probe. It is definitely used for campsite leveling. |
