The fuel/engine gauge on my bike is on a horrific angle, not parallel with the bike, I'd say off by 30 degrees. I've tried everything trying to rotate it but always stop short for fear of breaking something. Being anal/ocd with things like that it's caused be sleepless nights. Has anyone had the gauge out and can tell me what I need to do to straighten it? TIA.

You mean the little indicator light cluster on the right?  Take your headlight out, the whole chrome assembly so you can get access.  From inside the nacelle you'll be able to loosen the clamp on the light from underneath and rotate it to where you want it.  Then just tighten it back up.

Mine is off about 5 degrees.  It bugs me but not enough that I've done anything about it.  My laziness knows no bounds.

Thanks Scott. My analness exceeds my laziness.

My fuel/engine gauge is simply held in by a rubber cup. If you turn the bars all the way to the left you can push it out with your finger from underneath, without getting into the nacelle. Once you have it out simply lube up the rubber cup with your average everyday windex. It's slippery as snot when its wet, but dries up tight. You have plenty of time to get the gauge exactly the way you want it.

Laziness and a straight gauge!  Perfect!

I had everything out when I switched over to LED's. When I reassembled it all my gauges had to be perfect too, lol. I figured an easy way to move it around until it was just right. As to the windex, it works wonders on things like this, next time you have to install a new set of grips try it out. It takes a bit to dry but when it does it's good as glued. It also works to uninstall them, just pinch up the end of the grip and squirt a bit in. With a little work it will make its way up the grip and the grip will slip right off.

where did you get your led's from.
that is on my list of things to do.
