Almost anyway...
Got my order from Hitchcock's and planned everything out so it'd go smoothly.
Here are the gauges and indicator lights. I found the wiring harness from my C5 plugged right in the the new gauges so that saved a lot of work I could unplug the harness and do all the swap out at the table and then just plug them back into the bike. I had to order bulbs for the ammeter and indicator lights as they both use a BA7 bulb and I had no LEDS in that size on hand, I checked and they should be here today. I just need to pull the headlight and pop out the old bulbs and load up the LEDs. I got a clear one for the back light and a red for the FI with amber for the low full.
I pulled the old gauges and layed out where to drill the 1/2" holes for the lights. I didn't want to screw this up as the housing has got to cost a bit!
I touched up the holes with a bit of paint and after dry I silicon sealed the lamp housings in place. The Ammeter when in next, it's held in with a simple rubber sleeve from the light panel it's replacing so it's a simple push in and friction does the rest, and hooked up the back lighting. The indicator lights got plugged up, after I made sure I had the right harness going to the right housing. Last was the speedometer, again very easy as the factory wiring plugged right in, sure was nice having gotten the bulbs sorted out in the house thanks to the short harness I could easily unplug. The drive cable slid right into place and tightened the nut and then tested it and the head light popped back in.
Before.
After shot
The Malky key look even more at home now.
Only thing is I haven't hook up the Amp side of the meter yet,
www.cycleterminal.com is closed for vacation and I didn't want to halfa$$ it and then have to turn around in a couple of weeks and do it all over again. PLUS it's hotter the blazes out in the garage already and decided it was coffee time.

P.S. Notice? NO smoke or sparks?
