Do I assume correctly we need 7 to cover the whole dash?

yup. the speedo takes 4 so whatever color you want there. and the other 3 are for the indicators (blinker, hb, engine light) those shine thru tinted plastic so get clear. what color are you thinking of?

I was thinking you we're going with the Dakota Digital combo gauge. Then ditching the stock speedo.

i am but it will be a year or to i fear. the speedo its self is not gunna be a problem but i need to figure out what im gunna do with the dash then. im leaning towards a stage 3 bms tank but $750 for them to do it is crazy to me so im looking at other options. other thaught (and much cheaper) is after i take out the speedo having some sort of chrome cover made to fit in the sock speedos place and using the 2 buttons for my air ride (up and down) just for the heck of it i grabed the stock front pully cover cause i had a feeling it was around the same size. i was right but the mating edge is off a bit i was thinking about geting another ball milled front pully cover having it machiened to fit and replating it.

here is the stock pully cover just sat in place to give you a idea

I ordered the red for the speedo. Got kind of a flame theme going on with the bike now, so eventually there will be some paint involved and that will accent Nice little inexpensive mod. gotta love it

The first few times I looked at this pic, I thought you had done something really crazy and cut the sides off of your tank.
