I like digital speedos as long as the tach is still analog. But I have nothing against all analog either.

I kinda like the full digital cluster... tach and all. Adds a neat "wow" effect whenever people look at my bike. They're like, "wow, that completely digital?", "Yes... yes it is *grin*". I mean, to be honest, the time when you would want to watch your rpm carefully enough for an analog gauge to be more accurate is when you are racing, at which point you don't have time to look down much... just wait for that shift light to come up out of the corner of your eye

I like the digital indications. Only if they had the tach lighted witha brighter or different color sweep, it would be better. Or have the analog tach with the redline position at 12 O'clock. That's the easiest to read in that Pos. Most racebikes turn their tach that way.

I like the analog. Digital speedos are off when they roll out of the dealership and if you ever change gearing you could be off by 12% or more which not only messes up the speedometer but also screws up the odometer. Analogs are a little off too but it is closer to accurate and does not need to be recalibrated every time a change is made to the bike's tires or gearing. This all comes from the conversations I have with other drag racers...maybe they are wrong but many say that their timeslips are showing slower MPH's than their speedos.

I like the digital speedo but the tach on my bike sucks!!! You can't see the thing at all during the day.
Does anyone know of an analog conversion that still keeps all of the other indicator lights? Maybe even swapping gauges from another bike? Maybe an 07. I think the pics I seen of the 07 gauge cluster had the analog tach back. I have no clue if any of the lights signal lines come from the ECU? Havn't done any research it...
