Vapour dash fitting

After seeing the eBay pic that was posted on here with the black Kat fitted with a Vapor dash it got my grey matter moving :o
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-Gsx-k ... 0276.m3476
As my standard instrument binnacle is comprehensively f****d I’m thinking of fitting one instead of having mine repaired after a £450 quote!
So the questions are:
Are they easy to fit bearing in mind I’m an electrical Luddite?
Do you think the unit will fit inside the standard speedo/tacho case with all the standard gubbins removed? I can’t find any dimensions on the website for the Vapor unit?

I will source another casing so I’ve got the option to revert to standard if I ever wanted to.

have you pics of the clocks you have? if you get a better set, would you consider selling your knackered set? we like to collect clocks for spare parts for club members, but our stock is pretty depleted now.

Well I was hoping to have mine repaired at some point in the future (when I win the lottery lol) as I think the combined clock set looks the dogs or should that be Kats :lol:
Thanks for the info Fossie I’ll drop Spondonchris a pm about the kmh clocks.

Pity they don’t work properly :oops:
Our very own Fossie who lives close to me has seen the bike and thinks the problem might be the wrong drive fitted to the head? I don’t suppose in your spares stash you would have a correct drive you would be prepared to sell? My bike has a 19” front wheel and mph speedo

Paul I reckon if you pull off the glass remove the mph face and below it will be the km/h ones.
Placing a blue speedo cable convertor at the clock end will make the speedo read in mp/h but only the bottom of the clock will be used0-80.
