Does anybody know if any other instrument panels (clocks) off any other bike fits the firestorm?

mark

i would guess any panel that has electronic pickups for speedo and rev counter. you would need one with a fuel light or use a redundant light as the fuel light.

then just fab a back plate for it.

cant i just fab you a mill finish alloy mount plate for what you have already ???

I have got Trailtech clocks on mine.

Work well and are easy to fit. There is a thread on the Superhawk forum about this and a guy on there is fitting some Blade clocks to his vtr might be worth a look.

Shame they're not mechanical- I'd really like to see a huge Smiths speedo retro look thing sitting there, like an old Vincent.

I was looking at your instrument panel (oo'er missus) and was hoping the rider would appear so i could ask questions how difficult are they to fit if your electronically illiterate? Nice bike by the way

Dead easy to fit but you will need to fabricate a small bracket to hold the sensor for the speedo and you need to order a bigger temp sensor mount as the one in the kit is to small. As for the wiring i just used the loom off the original clocks and spliced the wires from the dash into that. Took about an hour in total and all the connections where soldered. If you fancy doing one drop me a p.m always happy to help out.
