Default RG gauges

Just a quick check to see if anyone has ever replaced the silver faced gauges in a RG to the Black face and if they have a pic. im having a bit of problem reading the silver and wondering about changing to the black style....thanks in advance

I have the black face gauges on my 2003 RG. I believe they came stock so should be no problem swapping gauges. I agree that they are easier to read than the silver face gauges.

Keep looking on ebay. Many who swap out for silver sell their black ones cheap.

I was thinking about swapping out the black gauge for silver on mine. When/if you decide to do it, let me know. I can take those gauge off your hands. The plexiglass on my guages is crazed, so you wouldn't want these.
