Does anyone have these in a FLHX? If so can you post some pics. How do you like them, are they worth the cost? Where is the cheapest place to buy them? Are they easy to install? What kind of time frame does it take to install?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks for the info.

Funny you ask, I just had to go out and adjust the time on them (disconnected battery for service).
Here are a couple of picks from my Ultra. IMO they are awesome and definitely worth it! Installation is easy, but make sure you have someone with small hands around for a couple of the nuts.
I got mine on eBay. Wish I could afford them for my Rocker too.

Thanks for all the responses, for those who have these guages, do you lose anything the the stock gauges provide? I know that you replace the air temp gauge with the oil temp guage. Is there anything else that you lose?

Excellent product. I have the blue gauges. When you start the bike they are full bright but will dim in darker light conditions quickly. They are very easy to read even in the full sun.
Install takes about an hour. They use the factory harness - unplug stock gauges and plug the DDs in. It's as easy as unplugging a lamp and plugging it back in. Messing with the settings took about an hour but was an enjoyable time - learning the features of the my new toys. I rode with my GPS to check the accuracy of the speedo and it was dead on right out of the box. Might be different if you have other than stock wheels. You can adjust the speedo to read correctly very easily if it's off.
As far as "losing" the free sir temp gauge.... you're not losing anything. The FAT gauge is an inaccurate peice of junk that tells you nothing about the operation of your scooter. You seriously gain with the addition of the oil temp gauge as it tells you something much more important (oil temp) than the air temp.
The tach and speedo are damn near instantaneous. I was really surprised with how fast, yet easy to read, the speedo and tach respond.
I don't think you'll be disappointed - great product IMO.
