Installed CVO Gauges in My SG / Extremely Pleased (Pics In Thread)
Installed CVO Gauges in My SG / Extremely Pleased (Pics In Thread)
I have researched this project before finally pulling the trigger. I was disappointed in the stock "Orange" color in my gauges and wanted a white background color like the Ultra Limited's. After consulting with my dealer as well as some on here I found out the CVO Gauges are around $300 less than the Limited's. They both offer the white lit background but differ just a little. I believe the Limited's gauges are just a little brighter than the CVO's but I was OK with that in order to save $300. Install was easy and took me just under an hour to do it by myself. My dealer quoted me over $700 for the gauges and I got them for $585 from Surdyke including FREE shipping. So a couple answers to some questions you may have:
Is the original stock gauge "married" to the bike? - YES and apparently if it is installed on another bike it will read "VINERR" rather than any mileage
Are the original Fuel Gauge and Volt Gauge "married" to the bike? - No
How does the new CVO Gauges figure out current mileage on you bike? - Once you install the CVO Gauges you will see 31 miles in I believe "Trip B" when you toggle through your odometer. This is a countdown. Once you start driving the motorcycle the 31 miles will count down to 0 (once you have gone 31 miles). The current mileage (your original mileage + 31) will then appear and your CVO gauges are "married" to your bike. I find this extremely interesting since my dealer told me I had to order these gauges from him and if I did I would then need to tell him my current mileage so they could order the gauge with that many miles on it. Just disappointing he is not up on his technology.
All in All I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with this Mod and look forward to reading my gauges a lot easier at night. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks! My buddy just bought the Ultra Limited and after seeing his gauges I had to make a change!!
Nice work. Looks good. Makes no sense though that the CVO gauge cluster would be so much less expensive than the Ultra Limited cluster.

Completely agree. I think the Limited cluster is a tad brighter

That's what he said. It's shocking the limited gauges are more expensive than the CVO's

That looks cool, how are they in the daytime , a lot of guys don't like the streetglide gauges at night, but I don't like them in the daytime if the sun is behind you can't see them well, and the turn signal indicators I never know if they are on.
do they have the gear indicator under the odometer?
