I actually spent the past few months figuring that out, I bought a bunch of different cases, and even 3D printed a bunch of cases before finally coming up with the HD Turn Signal housings.

Okay, the work on the gauges has to be one of the coolest parts of this project. Gorgeous work with the paint, too. I think that red is deep enough to have the full bike that color.

Never really thought of creating a setup like that for gauges and now yours is the second I've seen on the interwebs. I think the other guy still has some programming to do. Happen to have some resources for the Arduino setup? I probably wouldn't want to tackle anything like that this summer, but maybe during the winter when there's 5 feet of snow on the ground.

I'm not a programmer by day, so I wouldn't mind sharing the full program, and even giving some assistance with converting it to a different display, as the display I am using is not readily available.

That would be awesome! And no worries, I’m not a programmer by day either, but I can be dangerous.

I’ll have to dig on cb1100f.net and see if I can find the other post. Might be able to share some additional insight from the inline 4 side of the house. Should be fairly similar between the two platforms for the speedometer and tachometer.

The all white wires remind me of the color coding for the old air cooled VW fuel injection, all the wires for the fuel injection were, white that’s how you knew they were for the fuel injection. No trace colors.
Really enjoying this build and I’m looking forward to the finished ride
