The CL has now been fitted with a set of new, smaller 2 1/2 inch gauges. Each gauge face is lit by LED lights with 7 changeable colors, because nothing says tough cafe racer like something fancy. While they are currently resting in a diamond plate bracket, I think we’ll be swapping that out for something a little different. I’m still trying to zero in on what I want to do. For now though, I think it’s lookin’ pretty good.
New, Smaller Gauges
Gauges - Lit Up
Wow, those are awesome! Our CL175 has the original gauges and they visually look okay, but it’s still unknown if they work. These gauges might make a good alternative to NOS if we end up needing new ones.
Can you post some details about where you got them? And maybe the price?
I’ve got a few sets of gauges too, all in various levels of condition. I saw these on eBay after a friend told me about them. They are small, well lit, and the assorted LED colors are a novelty and not sure if I will ever change them
The mounting as you can see is temporary until I can fab up something final – likely something in a figure-8 shape that the gauges mount “in to” instead of “on”. The tach is a coil connected tach, so you’ll have to cover the existing tach cable off the engine – I was thinking of fabbing up a small propeller that’ll spin as I go 
Forward Powersports sells them, and they are a bit pricey at 69 bucks. They can be found here: http://stores.ebay.com/forwardpowersports . I’ve seen them on sale on other sites and on ebay on occasion for 40-50 bucks, but of course never when I need to buy them
HTH
As much as I’d love to own one, I can’t see myself committing just yet… unless of course… it looked like yours!
Congrats on the project, I love it!
Soth! Join us! You can do it
