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

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

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

Damn. No shit. Anyone who gets one of those and doesn't like the gauge cluster is welcome to swap gauges with my CBR600 F3.

Hell, on my old SecaII I rode for about 2 weeks with no gauge lights at all. I had to hit my brights so the blue light would come on and give me a little light so I could see my speed.
