I'm trying to find what model/year of bike has the turns, headlight hi/lo, neutral, sidestand, etc., all included in a small panel. I want to use it on the 1200 project and just have a small tach & speedo mounted just above it. I remember seeing such a panel on a few Valks that have had the VTX headlight mounted and the rider didn't want to cut holes in it for the indicators you see on the stock headlight bucket. But at the time, I didn't have this project taking up time and gray matter. I can find all kinds of digital speedo/tach combos on Ebay with all that on it....in Kph. Seems the majority don't switch to Mph, some do but aren't exactly what I want and some are downright ugly. I'd like to find a unit that can use the I/S sender but have only seen one so far and I lost the contact so it's back to square one.

I got one of these for my 1000.  I painted it up and it looks good.

Probably not what you're looking for, but thought I'd put it out any ways.

Might could use it, what year and model is it from? I'd like to find something with separate arrows for the turn signals since the 1200 has separate wires for it.

Honda put those on several models.

I found this one here.

CBX and the GL1000 both have gauges with indicators between them including the turns.

John,

I believe the chrome "idiot light panel" that you are refering to came on the 97 Honda Shadow 1100 A.C.E.
It was used on other cruiser models as well, but I do remember distinctly it being on the A.C.E.

Good Luck

You're right Momz, and a good looking one too: 97 Honda Shadow 1100 A.C.E.

Early Shadows used a separate panel with all of the lights in it.
Here is an example.

John,

You could still use a dash panel with a single turn signal light.  Using the diode kit below and rewiring like they show and you will signal the indicator on either direction.

Hope this helps with your decision.

Looked for those in the picture on Ebay until I'm going blind, could use the entire set. If anyone runs across either or both pieces let me know. I'll look further tomorrow but for now, my eyes burn.  Cheesy

I see a number of aftermarket speedos that will work on the 1100 Shadow, but all I see are Kmh.

Here's one that looks to be in pretty decent shape. Putting "OEM" into your search gets rid of the aftermarket "noise".

Google "motorcycle digital mirrors". It might be just what you are looking for in a very cool unobtrusive package.
