They're a bit shorter than my old 91 model 1100 usd's, but since they'd been pushed through about 50mm, the geometry is the same

The dash is a digibeast MWsomethingorother, first one in the country.More expensive than the acewells that Exben's selling (but he's got digibeasts, too) but they've got alloy casing. It's mounted where the key normally is in the FZ6N headlight i've got, with a datatool revlight as then tacho. I'll post some pics tomorrow.
