Not to judge unless you have attempted the project. The earlier gauges fit well. The small gauges use the 2014 mounts and the larger gauges require a retainer bracket to be fabricated. Just a piece of plastic with two holes. Using the stock gauges will also utilize the original wiring. Very easy project that I will outline at a later time. The original poster sent me pictures as well. I am attaching some pics of mine. The last pic is using the 2014 gauge housing with the earlier gauge workings and a custom face.

I was gonna gut the gauges and attempt this swap, but at my cost of 475.00 i couldnt see myself doing that just to have it look like a brand new bike

Good for the OP!!!! He saw something he wanted to do and made it work. All while suffering the "You can't do that, I know it for a fact" posts from folks who apparently don't know what they think they know.

Those posts should have read: "That looks like a lot of work and far exceeds my skill level and ambition."
