Default Import Mulfunction Speedo/Tach/... anyone done this?

With all due respect to the search-first protocol, I arrogantly started my own thread. Feel free to rip on me (and hopefully refer me to threads that demonstrate the error of my ways.)

That said:

Out of curiosity, based on the recently dramatically reduced price, I purchased an Asian-manu'd gauge cluster that is purportedly wired to encompass damn-near-all functions: Speedo, Odo, Tach, Gear Indicator, Neutral Indicator, Fuel Level, Directional, Hi/Low...I may be missing or have added functions...

Here's the unit:

52mm Universal Motorcycle Digital Odometer KM/H Speedometer Gauge LED Backlight


I paid $23 incl shipping. Figured wth, just to see.

Bike is still a 2000 FLHRI, btw.

Now: I know damn well right out the gate I'm not getting a gear indicator without some serious effort that most likely won't be worth the effort. NOT a concern. I'm not racing and mis-shifts are a rarity for me. So...don't anyone get caught up in that whole hoo-haa. Forget gear indicator. I already looked into it, and see zero necessity whatsoever.

That said...a cheap-*** multi-function all-in-one gauge appeals to my (possibly, likely unhealthy) desire for streamlining.

I am comfortable with wiring connections and would look toward making an adapter (probably have to redo the connections it came with since I doubt they're a US standard) so as not to make permanent mods to the OEM connections.

Adapting the unit itself to the OEM housing may be an issue, and...I've babbled on enough as is, so:

Anyone messed with one of these?
