Where do you get plugs for the gauge (gas & Temp) gauges on the dash. Im sure the dealership can get them but probably want $$$ for them. I have great thermometer and clock from clocks4bikes that came with a handlebar mont and want to change them over to flush mount but need a flat surface !

BRP's site is down, so I couldn't check, but I remember them as being less than $10 each.

I think that is what I paid for mine. When I got them I ordered 4 just in case.

I found them online for $8.99 each. WITH SHIPPING $22 total delivered. :yikes: I will order them from the dealer and pay the $8.99.

I checked out their site and like that they are waterproof. Which size did you get and what are the dimensions ? Did you get the illuminated ones? Would like to see pictures once you get them mounted.

These are the ones i bought. I called today and they are sending me the stick on chrome backs/bezels to mount them on my dash. They are great and if they are ever stolen, they will replace for free! Now that is service!

Larry,

If you haven't ordered them yet, you can have my gauge blanks.

I purchased mine form the dealer, about $10 or $11 each.

I ordered the BRP blanks and find them to be very flimsy. I put a 12v outlet in one and it pulls out every time I unplug a device from the outlet. Anyone know of a better way?

Glue it in with some RTV silicone or fabricate a couple of dog-ear brackets, fastened with screws from the front of the plug.
