Just a suggestion, while you have your dashboard off, paint your dashboard ( going from Analog to Digital) the same color of your spyder.
Go to Gallery,
1. My Albums
2. Look/click @ my pictures " Dashboard 14RTS-SE6 in Cognac"
You will see the before/after picture of my dashboard.
What a difference the painted dashboard makes.

Did I get a lot of PM's today about my volt gauge. I got hoe from work and because of this post had 19 PM's!!!!!!
I guess posting my videos in the main forum rather than RT shop talk or DIY gets a crap load of more attention?
GUY and GALS... How about looking in some of the other forums! A wealth of info is in there!
Anyway I responded to everyone's PM's tonight which took like an hour!

I was searching for the best deal I could find on that gauge and $23 was the cheapest I could find. Should be here in a week. Thanks again for the heads up on tge leds bleeding through the others.
2007 M109R LE - To many MODS to list. Its cheaper that way!!!
I make and sell the adapters and wiring harnesses for the sockets. The USB can use the analog gauge back light circuit but the 12v must come from the battery. My signature has a link to my web store.
...Unless alternator (I assume the Spyder uses one?) failures are common, battery voltage is really not a critical need to know when riding, other than a neat looking gauge...
Depends on the year. The 998 engines use a PMG which requires about 4k rpms to charge the battery which is why a lot of owners have had battery issues. The 2-fixes were use a battery tender daily and keep your rpms up! As I understand it, the new 1330 engines have reworked this flaw and eliminated the PMG system.
So adding a digital volt meter to the 998 engines of the RT is a good and smart option - IMHO.
I screwed around for I don't know how long trying to find the electronic Fuel gauge on the digital display, then restorted to reading the manual (I know, should have started there) and found out there was no electronic fuel gauge if you had an analog one. Then I read this post yesterday, went home last night, did as the directions said, and voila! i have the gauges i wanted AND two locations for power ports I wanted to install.
You folks are awesome here, I never would have thought to remove the gauges to accomplish this.
I’ve only had my 2014 RT Sfor a few months and search the best I know how for your power port setup and have not had much luck. If you can get me headed in the right direction I sure would appreciate that. Thanks FN
Yes, I realize that this thread is five years old, but somebody else brought it back from the dead and I happened to read it.
I noticed that THIS question was never answered. Anybody able to provide a clue (or three)?

I'm kinda new here, too. If Roger has something that is rather informational, I'd like to see it, too.

Roger had a spyder app (spydercodes) that he developed and was good for all things Spyder. The app is no longer available, and Roger has left the site.

Hey Cruzr Joe, I have a 2018 RT Limited. can my model be converted from an analog to a digital reading for fuel and temp?????? someone told me that it will not work on my particular model.. Please advise and thanks..
Hello Everyone, looking for suggestions. I am shopping for a Spyder but running into some obstacles because I need modifications done because I have a handicap and not able to use the foot break. A dealer told me that I would need to order the hand break part and find a mechanic to install. My other issue is the floor board, it needs to be wider and I was told they made the wider floor boards for the 2020 model. Any suggestions on what companies to contact and others that have run into this situation and how did you resolve it
Thank you RTorres

You already have Digital
The 2018 is all digital, you could not get analog if you wanted it.
Happy Easter

on the JD. I would call the yellow one analog...because of the needle. If I am wrong, let me know, I'll get me a hit of JD.

Still digital, analog would have some kind of needle arm or something that would move when you bounce the bike, digital wont move. (Besides that, i don't believe that you can have analog on a digital screen ???)
