Easy, pull the faring off and look at the back of the gages. Find the light, gently work it out and notice its a white bulb with a colored rubber sleeve on it. Put a different color sleeve on it and reinstall. Not sure what you'll want to use for your color/ sleeve but it can't be too hard to figure out if you want it bad enough.

I did the Radio Shack siren mod today. It went great, and it looks/functions perfect.

I have a DIY question that I know someone in this group can answer. I added two Saddlemen Saddlebag Lid Organizers. I really like them, but when it gets hot out the sticky velcro tends to let go an the ends of the organizer drop until I press them back on and wait to do it again.

Thoughts for a cure?

Regards,
Doug

Get rid of them. Unless you glue them or screw them that adhesive on the velcro will never stay.
