Thanks!  I like the carbon fiber look on your pods and side covers. 

The install wasn't too bad but had to pull the "dash" out to do it.  I started with the brackets that came from Motosens, cut them off about an inch, cut a slot in each one to straddle the air vent fins and then used a small nut/bolt to connect them to the inside of the vent.  It made for a fairly neat installation since the wires run down the vent and then behind the speedo and tach.  I'll try for some additional pictures this evening from different angles.

I just read on Motosens website that they are shutting down production after 10 years.

My guess would be that they have some in stock still but just aren't making any more, just a guess though.

I hadn't noticed that time on the clock until you mentioned that  :o    It was never moved forward from the time change back in March so it was really 6:40 but still kind of early for pictures  ;)

Very nice install. I'm officially asking permission to install my gauges like you have!! I ordered the oil temperature, volt meter and water temperature gauges this week. I was shocked at how expensive the oil pressure gauge was with its sender. I chose the amber/orange illumination as well because of how well it matches the I/S gauge cluster. Motosens is  6 weeks out in lead time and quickly running out of gauges.

By all means, I would consider that to be the ultimate compliment  :cooldude:   Yes, their oil gauge/sender are quite pricey, along with the other gauges, but look really nice and are just the right size for that space.  Glad you were able to get your order in before they ran out.  The install wasn't bad, it just took some time to figure out what I wanted to do and then patience to do it  ;)
