I'd like to know more about the dash.
I.E. How hard was it to fit?

Have to agree with all of that, that's a real beauty but those bloody mirrors would have to go!

They would- first bit of M25 rush hour filtering.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

+ 1 on that and the Haybusa clipons and controls. :thumbup:

That is one very nice VTR. I would lose mirrors like that when filtering around London in no time. :lol: I'm not to keen on the colour scheme either.

Bike is indeed awesome. The only "fly in the ointment" IMO is VFR tank (looks too bulbous) but everything else is right on the money... I believe the owner sold it a little while back.

Fitting the SP cluster wans`t too difficult. I had to fabricate an adaptor (from an aluminum plate) then hook up the wires (need the wiring schematics and then to plan things out prior to beginning the cutting and splicing; also, if your bike has the first-gen cluster, you also need to replace the temperature sending unit to one that works with a digital gauge). Unfortunately, my tach has never worked, something I hope to remedy in the coming weeks.....

So when will you be writing this up then? :D
All we need is the correct sensor and a wiring diagram from you with a step by step (picture by picture) job sheet........ easy :D
Good luck with the rev counter and keep us posted.
I want one for my new bike.......

I thought you was in France Styler :confused Digital dash is on my list to do. I would like a digital speedo but keep an analogue looking rpm.
I'm starting to like the idea of the CBR Dash http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CBR-100 ... 2ebbbc10d8 more than the SP1. Tried to find a thread on the Superhawk site to no avail.

Have Fun. :thumbup:

satin black all the way, my new swingarm is powder coated the same, i think its way better than gloss or matt black. this winter i'll get my rear subframe and exhaust hangers done the same...... :thumbup:

Agree! Rearsets are the only thing that is missing, and with the frame and everything black, they really stand out. :thumbup:
