Gauge/bracket setup

[THEGHOSTRIDER]

Okay so I'm planning on fabing a bracket for the speed/ fuel gauge. Previous owner ghetto Rigged a bracket by "drilling a hole in the headlight cover" and bending a bracket in a u shape to mount the gauges with zip ties for added support, that's what he told me lol. We are working with a 96 Kat. I'm looking for a clean design that will hide the pods and give it a "hey is that stock look." planning on powdercoating the final product. pictures would be nice.

Check out BP's write up (stickied at the top) in the streetfighter section. Give it a nice stockish GSXR look.

My answer would be to hit ebay for a cowling subframe, mount the gauges in that and find some fairings and a windscreen. Probably not much help to you..

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I love a mod that leaves people wondering if it's stock.

Check the streetfighers section.. plenty there.. my old bracket came from an old scooter

Still debating going electric with a speed sensor or fab a custom bracket. I want a super clean look.

If you're trying to look stock, maybe think of gauges from a Bandit, or at least the cups they come in.

A lot also depends on what you're using for a headlight. If you're doing an enduro light, you could fit a trailtech speedo behind it. If you're doing a 7" round light or dominators, the gauges are going to be exposed no matter what, so the bandit cups would look more stockish.

what years will work from the bandit. Will stock gauges fit in the cup?

I don't know, and I doubt anybody does. That's kind of the thing with fighters, you know...... you're likely to end up having to do a lot of the leg work yourself. If you search around the internet enough, you should be able to find some gauge cups that will fit the stock gauges with a little work. With some luck, maybe a set of early bandit gauges would wire right up, since the early ones used a cable speedo like the early kats did. There is usually only one way to find out, though......

I hear yea. Just trying to learn others mistakes before i run into my own lol. Has anyone here slapped on a koso gauge? Can't find a picture nor really any good info about capability.
