Default Do you like the Silver Face (white) gauges?

I just bought a set of silver (white) face gauges for my '04 Electra Glide. Has anyone else made the switch? Happy? How do they look at dusk/night?

Thanks !

I bought those gauges off of a fellow forum member. Mileage was within a few hundred of mine so it worked out perfect. I like them a lot better than my black ones and glad I did it. Funny, I actually thought they were white till I got my hands on them. Guess I never looked close enough at all the SG's previously. I think I wish they were white, but like I said, I like them and am glad I made the switch. As far as lighting at dusk/night. Far cooler at dusk and night IMO. Daytime the idiot lights are not as easy to see though. OH, well, no biggie

I didn't realize they came in anything but the silver. I'd love black. I don't really care for the silver. They look too white to me and don't blend well with the rest of the inside of the batwing.

Hmmm...maybe I'd be willing to sell my blacks. What year is yours? Black is normal stock gauges. Everything has black but SG's.

Agreed, when I painted my inner I switched to the titanium faced gauges. Before the painted inner the white gauges worked. But once I painted it the white didn't blend at all.

Man I love the white/silver face. I think they look great at night as well.

Oh well, to each their own.

I ride a Street Glide... love the silver-face gauges. My favorite of the three styles I'm aware of (Stock/Ultra, Titanium/Limited, and Silver/Street Glide).

I can help make your factory gauges even look better.
