Aftermarket
Gauge and LED Backlight Adapters For Stock Gauge Cluster
For three decades 40-series
owners have had to choose between accurate gauges and the clean look of the
stock gauge cluster... but no longer!
Another exclusive
CruiserUser.com design, these adapters will fit modern, accurate, Autometer
gauges into the stock gauge cluster. Choose from electrical or
mechanical gauges, and finally know exactly what your oil pressure, water
temperature, and battery voltage/amperage is!
All years are supported!
For pre-71 clusters, without a pin-style lighting connector and without
turn signal indicators in the speedometer, turn signal LEDs are included,
but mounts are not. Wire splices are used to connect new lighting to
existing harness. For 71-84 clusters, turn signal LEDs are integrated
in the brackets, and electrical connection is done with pin terminals that
plug into the stock connector.

As if that wasn't enough,
these adapters also come with upgrade LED/EL-wire illumination so that you can finally actually see
your gauges at night!
Installation
... is a snap, no modifications to the harness or cluster are necessary.
Simply unbolt the stock cluster, and remove all the gauges. You'll be
reusing your original speedometer and fuel gauge.

A duplicate of the stock
connector (late models) or wire splices (early models) are used to plug the
backlights and fuel gauge into the stock harness. Then just hook up
the replacement gauges as usual.

Illumination:
These brackets include white LEDs for Hibeam and turn signal
indicators. For the gauge backlights, you
can choose to use additional LEDs, or electroluminescent wire, depending
on your personal feelings about new fangled electronics. The EL
wire driver comes resin-potted for water resistance.
