the dash itself is dope as hell, but i think you could have done a better job of placing the gauges. those look like you need to look around the wheel to see them. but props on the dash man.

thanks but ican take sreit for something i didnt do, i had the dash made by Frank of Franks custom fiberglass, then i did all the install and mounting. if anyone wants a dash like this he has one already made up, that has a slight flaw in it, i am pretty sure he would cut you a deal(these weight 1 lbs) and carbon kevlar is much harder to cut and work with(i've heard)

I'm calling bullshit on being able to see that Tachometer past the steering wheel, especially with a helmet on. I also think the dash is ugly as sin, but props for the insane weight savings .

I'm with Arch on this, my advice is switch the tach with the rpm guage and you should be all good. Note there are 2 other smaller guages you can't see (never mind with a helmet on)
