Could you expand on that a little?I figured it out. I really like the look of my panel now. At $3.00 it was a lot less expensive the blueguage and only took me about 2 hours.

So where do we learn to re-solder SMD leds? Any u-tube videos for starters? I have no fear of pulling the dash or cracking the case,even removing and resetting the needles. But never tried to solder an SMD.I did they same thing the guys on this thread did. the LEDs were 3 bucks on ebay.
Here's a picture in the dark (see picture #4) https://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?68270-Fruth-Gear-Position-Indicator-Install&highlight=Bluegauges:Anyone have a photo of the blue gauges reverse LCD for the side in daylight. I am interested in doing the conversion but the reverse LCD option almost doubles the price but I like the look much better from the photos, would like to see a real life day and night photo.
HiWe're now doing something similar in the Netherlands. BlueGauges is well known, but the price is somewhat firm and the shipping back and forth between Europe and the States adds another $100. Plus the risk of losing a shipment, leaving you with an ST1300 and no cockpit . . We started this little project 2 months ago with a spare cockpit to experiment on, and we now have the first 2 bikes upgraded and 2 Cockpit Conversion Days (CCDs) planned! Most people opt for blue LEDs behind the gauges, and white behind the LCD. The improvement in contrast is quite staggering!
It might be my eyes but I went with all blue and during the day I see purple . Scott said nobody else has said this in the past.We're now doing something similar in the Netherlands.

Yes the Dutch guy should tell us what size the LEDs are ?Hi all. Sorry to 'necrobump' an old thread, but I just wondered if anyone could provide the dimensions of the LEDs in the ST1300 dash (as they are from stock).
I got sick of the useless Speedo, so installed the SpeedoHealer. Speedo is now spot on, relative to my GPS.I never use the worthless speedo so, I don't really care if I can read it. Zumo for me on correct speed.
When you say this, do you mean the speedo healer fixed the needle indicator, but does not have any effect on the odometer? If thats the case I would think the MPG readout would be off still as well?Mileage however, is off by 7% now, but I can live with that.
The SpeedoHealer puts in whatever correction you set - to the whole speedometer.When you say this, do you mean the speedo healer fixed the needle indicator, but does not have any effect on the odometer? If thats the case I would think the MPG readout would be off still as well?
If not, I'll take mine apart next week and post the dimensions here.Yes the Dutch guy should tell us what size the LEDs are ?
Maybe if you ask him in a PM, he could tell you?Belray said:Yes the Dutch guy should tell us what size the LEDs are ?
