Now proceed to remove the 2 screws attaching the dash to the fairing stay:
Now flip the entire stay assembly over and remove the 3rd screw securing the dash:
Now unplug the harness from the back of the dash, peeling back the rubber to expose the little tab needed to pull it out:
Now box up your dash and send it to BrowningBuck for the gear indicator and LED color change MOD!!
^^ as you can see i'm about as good at taking pictures as i am using my words.. i apologize in advance.. and if anyone has anything to add.. be my guest!
Great write up. And you are 100% correct, BrowningBuck is the Man. He does great work, with very fast turn around time and the BEST Customer Service you could expect!
and if you feel like continueing the DIY gauge mod sega, you can do this:
This is originally by Jotaro, same guy who pioneer the technique with the 07 Tundra gauges.
Ok, here's a brief 'How To'
What you need:
- An '07 or '08 CBR600RR
- A good soldering station
- Some PLCC2 LED's, you can get them from oznium.com
- Long nose plier, or whatever you wanna call it
- A little bit of mechanical/electrical aptitude
- Accept that if you fvckt it up it's your own fault, heheh.
To remove gauge cluster, follow service manual, in a nut shell: remove fairing stay (4 flanged hex head screw and 2 socket cap screw), remove connector then remove gauge from fairing stay (3 phillips pan head screws).
pretty dang cool to see the inside of the cluster, and some great pics / instructions randomwalk. Thanks for that... though, this is one mod I won't be doing myself :icon_lol:
you can remove that clear plastic deal without desoldering, just pull straight upwards on the needles base, it pops right out. then remove the 2 faceplate screws, just dont scratch it..
what i want to know is what the dual a k points are on the pcb between the needle and the gas guage screen.... hmmmmmmmmm do i see a potential hookup for a rev light???????
Anyway to get the pics back for the inside of the cluster.... Im thinking of doing this MOD myself as well and just would like to know more info about it....
Can someone please advise me of the part numbers for the three screws as above in the photos as I have lost one, I mean the ones that connect the clocks to the meter panel.
Your help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Paul
I have found now that I have taken off the front of my bike again to screw the clocks on properly that I don't have the place to screw in the 3rd screw to the meter panel and the trumpet parts are also missing but I am not sure what to do.
Can someone please advise me?
Cheers, Paul
