LOL. yeah. thats the way i look at it but i was just currious if anybody tried them out before. i just got them because i like the looks of white face gauges.. and it jumps the stock 85mph speedo to 105mph... The 85mph speedo is pretty much useless.

No I haven't seen them but you are now my best friend. LOL
I have been looking at those also and was wondering if they are any good. Please let me know if they are worth it once you get them. The 85 speedo is garbage. My tach doesn't work though but it will still look pretty white I guess. Keep us updated.

The one that goes to 105 is just a sticker that continues past the 85 mph. Our stock needles go past 85 but are not labled past that on the guage face. All this does is extend the numbering to where the needle pegs out.

I have these guages on my 86 and do like them. They come with all kinds of speedo and tachs. i used the 105 on my 85 then upgraded to the 140 when I got my SVO guages. You have to remove the needles on the speedo and tach, The rest of the guages are tricky because it is easy to bend the needle. You also have to cut the faces to exact size, they are on squares, but for the price they are nice, and look still light up good at night
