Looked at the photo you specified JC.  How are the gauges in the daytime with the sun behind you?  When it's shining directly in to them?

That is the only feature you lose (that I can tell after a month or so), but you do gain a few.

I liked that feature myself, but I like the Dakota Digital. Yes the cost was something to get over but geez we spend more on other crap. Hell you get to look at your $1200.00 every time you ride..  :2vrolijk_21:  I guess that is justification.. :nixweiss:

The fuel gauge runs in %.  So when it drops down from 100% down to 10% (that's 10% of six gallons) it starts blinking.  That's adjustable to where ever you'd like it.  However, I've gone down to 0% and still rode a couple more miles before I got to a gas station.  At that point, I put 5.6 Gallons in (so there must have been 1/2 gallon when it got down to 0%.

I remember when we were riding with 3 1/2 gallon tanks.....then went up to 5 gallons and now six gallons.  No excuse for every running out in my opinion. :nixweiss:

The up side is the features that Dakota Digital gauges have that stock doesn't have......0-60 mph... 1/4 mile....top speed, etc.  The gauges seem to be more accurate than the stock gauges, too.

You're telling him to be careful.  Does that mean that you already bought your set?  :nixweiss:  You and I know that you're going to. :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:  You suffer that OCD thing that we all have. ;D

The dakota website states in it's FAQ's that the red is very difficult to see in daytime conditions and they actually recommend staying with the blue. That is what prompted my question on the visiblity. I am ordering a set, and can go either direction as my bike is the 2010 SEUC in amber /citrus.
