Default Installing Guages

I'm not sure...

Would installing a couple guages be something I can do myself?

I'm looking at nitrous pressure, a/f, and mabey 1 more undecided guage.

It is something you can do yourself in most cases, but be prepared for a fair amount of work. I wouldn't say gauges are difficult to do, but to do a nice job and make things look professional you need to spend some time and do some planning. Plan all of your wiring runs first, figure out where you'll be going through the firewall, etc. When you actually get working take your time, do a good job on any wiring you need to solder, be sure to follow the instructions for your gauges and install fuses where they say to, and so on.

I've done five gauges in my Marauder and it took me a lot longer than I anticipated, but the results were worth it. Good luck!

yes you can do them yourself.

it helps to have access to a garage, that way it's much
more comfortable and you can take a couple
of days if desired.

sometimes you have to remove the inner wheel
well covers, to get access to the drivers side,
firewall access hole.
