I'd definatly rock it.... but the headlight thing is still odd....

yeah, kinda like RC51 nose with strange headlights, some R6 in there, not sure what else

Johnny Cash edition

Looking at the head on picture if you could put the small semi-round headlight on both sides it'd look like it's giving you a "Eat Shit" look.

Well this is the KTM's........I could barely read it. Numerals too small and skinny. :td: At least with the BMW you get an analog tach.

I definitely thought of that too. Got it one piece at a time...........That could explain the gills on only one side as well as the headlight thing.
LOL

The headlights are ugly as fvck but overall I like the bike. I may have to eliminate the cat when I change out the exhaust too.

As mentioned...I'd like to see some independant numbers on the bike and ride one but again overall....pretty slick. I do wish they had done something different with the headlights though...yuk.

rc8 dash is ok but the hp2 sports would have been a better comparison

Digital tachs suck. :td: This is a nice gauge cluster. Of course my bike doesn't even have a tach, so who am I to complain? :D

That is probably one of the cleanest and most efficient gauge clusters I've seen lately. :dthumb:
