Love the video I'm glad someone can make something sensible really easy to follow along with

[@MotoGamingDad]

Glad you liked it! Tried to go step by step so anyone could follow along.

[@CARLPHILLY]

Thank you sir for putting this video on. It really helped me get mine going. Thank you so much!

[@MotoGamingDad]

Glad it helped out!

[@bryson1992]

I already have my speedo just waiting on my hawk to come in, I'll definitely re watch this vid when it gets here

[@bryson1992]

Update. I got it put together and everything working correctly, thanks for the vid man this really helped

[@MotoGamingDad]

Glad to hear it helped and is working for you!

Where did you get the wires that plug into the back?

[@michaellee2032]

Where do you get the wiring harness that runs to the back of the bike when you plugged them in to the back?

[@MotoGamingDad]

The wires all came attached to the cluster, the plastic box that I tucked all the electrical wires into is already on the bike. It all lined up pretty well and was mostly plug & play.

[@billyallenby8295]

May not see this but have you had any issues with the gas gauge not working ?

[@MotoGamingDad]

Mines still working ATM. But anything made from chinesium has that potential to just stop working. My only issue with it thus far is the mph is slightly off, reads a little higher than I'm actually going.

Thanks for the help

Happy to help!

@@MotoGamingDad I did get a chance to fix my cluster. Only thing that's not working is the signal lights, do you know anything about that?

[@wayne7862]

So the existing blue & white wire runs to the CDI box, which is critical to powering up the bike. When I attached the digital tach's blue & white wire to the existing blue & white wire, I robbed the bike of starting power and the bike refused to start for a week. I had to rip the whole digital speedo out of the bike and go back to the analog unit. But somehow your bike started right up and the tach worked. Any idea? Thanks.

[@MotoGamingDad]

Honestly, not sure. The way I wired it in the vid is how it's still wired. I did however upgrade the battery prior to this to a gel battery, maybe that has something to do with it if your still running the china battery it comes with?

[@wayne7862]

@@MotoGamingDad Appreciate the reply. For now just leaving the analog speedo in place. It can be exhausting after a while.

[@mrsir2378]

Got a link to the Speedo? All the Amazon reviews are junk. How's it holding up? Is the digital mph bright enough in the sun?

[@MotoGamingDad]

It's holding up well! It's not 100% accurate, I did post a second video I believe clicking t with gps on my phone. It's much more accurate than the analog one but still off a few mph starting around 10-15mph and the gap changing more at speed, around 50-55mph it's about 4-5mph off so about 10% variance. It's definitely not a 5star product but it's leagues above the factory analog display. It's bright enough, accurate (enough) and looks much nicer than the analog. I'd recommend it. The link should be in the description for the video, if it's not, let me know and I'll look up the one I bought and share the link!

@@MotoGamingDad thanks for getting back to me. Pulled the trigger yesterday went with the one you have here, there were others at half the price but terrible reviews.

[@zachzat1581]

How does it work did your mph get more accurate?

[@MotoGamingDad]

It did! Still isn't perfect, I'd say it's about 10% off or so but it is MUCH better than the analog display. Having the RPM gauge is nice as well (it's a little sticky and not perfect but nice to have) and looks much nicer than the analog display. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade.
