It shouldn't be a problem after a few minutes of use, especially if the digits change color too.

It will only be a few rides before its normal to you again. And it may actually be a quicker reference for you if you get the right gauges. Could be a bit safer that way, less time deciphering what the gauges are telling you! Good Luck.

Just my opinion, nothing more or less:

Digital looks hokey on a bike. Any bike.

Again, just my opinion.

I made the switch from my stock '05 EGC gauges to the Harley brushed aluminum series. I love the brushed look and I still find the analogue type more pleasing to my eye.

Gotta go with whatever floats your boat tho'.

Enjoy
