Thanks for the heads up!
Nice part and very reasonably priced.
So sick of overly expensive parts.
I guess some people still do not know we are in a depression.

Dang,that's a killer deal! Even if you had the tools and scrap metal to make one you'd be better of just getting that one. Gotta love that mass production!

I think they're gonna sell a lot of these. I left them an email to price me a triple setup....the two mini gauges plus that little 1 ½ inch voltmeter in the middle at the bottom. Anxiously awaiting their reply.....

My only complaint, is that it lacks a trip meter -- makes it so much easier to know when to tank up. Still, that is a killer price! Cheers!

I messed up and bought a second hand mini speedo for the chopper with no trip meter. It is a pain trying to remember when to get gas!

I hope they sell gas cans... My Voyager, and my Honda, both got around 43 MPG; the Honda's tank was a 5.5(?) gallon tank, while the Voyager's is a 6.5 gallon tank. Going 200 miles would be pushing them uncomfortably close to their limits, for me.
Last year, we were riding through a Reservation, in northern Minnesota. We only saw two other vehicles, per hour of driving, as it was very sparsely populated. We weren't paying attention to the gas gauge (no reserve, just a flashing light warning of low fuel...), and it was on Empty. We slowed down to 45 MPH, as the best mileage occurs between 35-45, hoping to make it to a gas station. We rode for about 30 minutes more, before we finally found a small town, with a gas station. I topped it off, and found that there was around two gallons left in the tank -- the gauge is dramatically conservative! That was scary, as we had never allowed the gauge to get that low, before, and I wasn't certain how big the tank was. I still rely on the tripmeter, which I trust more than any gauge, but the "E" still made me nervous.
I've read accounts of folks riding to Pruedhoe Bay, Alaska. Typically, they carry two gas cans, or around 3+ gallons of extra fuel, just to make it all the way, as there is around 300(?) miles without anything, along the way. The road is rough, so they ride dual sport bikes, heavily loaded with gear, so their mileage is probably not the best. That would be fun, but a little scary. Cheers!

I just noticed something on the tach: Goes up to 12K and no redline. Does this mean we can take the engine past 9500 when we put the new tach on it?
 Wouldn't that be cool.

Of course that's what it means! What a great deal! Cool gauges and extended rpm range all for one low price.
