Looks sweeet! I've been thinking about this for my ride. Was the ebay deal a one time thing? If not, I'd really could use a link. Some CVO owners have compained of problems with condensation, so i'd be carefull at wash time.

Geez, I paid $350 for my new set of spun aluminum gauges from this same ebay seller--guess I overpaid. LOL.

They look great in the daytime with the spun aluminum; and cool at night with the red lighting--though they are not easy to read with my 59 year old vision.

Here's mine:

I'd ask for a little refund. lol It amazes sometimes about ebay, I collect danbury mint cars, and lots of times I see people pay more for them (in stock items) than what they could order them from the factory.. paying $135 -150 for a $120 car

How do you like the faring mirrors compared to the stock stem mounts? My wife wants me to get a set she likes the look.

We went yesterday on a 200 mile rally trip, rode in the bright sunshine, rain, heavy rain, fog and night time, even tho my eye sight is not the best either at 50 I had no trouble seeing any of the gauges or inset lighting, I really like the look of the gauges especily how everything blends now with the radio, glad I bought them and the wife just loves them too, a lot of times she's more giddy about the ride than I am

When I changed my EG into a RG, I went with the spun alum - when the low fuel light comes on - the bright sun does wash it out... I like them, but now that they have been on for a year - Ya know, I really do not notice them anymore or less than the stock ones.. lol
