    Default Show me your VT/X Dash Mods!

    I have been kicking around ideas of different things to liven up my VT SS Dash for a while (dont we all?) and i wouldnt mind seeing what some of you guys have done.

    I like the look of Dash/Vent mounted gauges (Smits C2R etc).

    Im not looking to go wild but things like VY/Z gauge binnacles grafted to a T/X dash, those kind of things.

    Please keep the pics coming!

    Cheers,
    Legion.

    Yeah I'd like to see this too..... I was going to put a couple of guages where the VY/VZ ones go, I presumed They'd exist for the VT/VX, Personally I've never really liked custom dash mounted ones, They don't look "factory" and out of place..... I'd LOVE to see a guage binnacle for the VT/VX..

    Here's a pic of my dash...



    Nothing over the top or no painted dash, Just changed face to orange, Sorry for blurry Pic, Either drunk or asleep.

    P.S. **** Tinypic's "Word verification" Need to find a different host, Screw that shit. 4 Times I've got it wrong in a row now.

    Hey mate, there are 2 screws above the spedo and two in where the cigarette lighter is. undo the cigarette ones first and the whole bottom part will just unclip (don't be scared to pull it a little) and then at the bottom of the top piece there will be 2 more. undo them and the top will come out (after you undo all the cables and stuff of course :P hope this helps
