• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Thanks very much for providing the info on the special adapter needed to make it work :thumbup:

The digital actually has two display readings one in red numerical digital and the other in a green analog setting.

When ryding these are not distracting at all.:2thumbs:

What and where did you order ? Was the install difficult ? Did the gauges come with instructions ?

Looks like they where always there . Nice job !:thumbup:
 
I have the same gauges, what harness did you tap into for the volt meter and what extra parts did you require for the oil pressure gauge and where did you tap into.

Ordered from http://www.aemonly.com/ then click on Digital gauges.
The install was done by my mechanic Fernando, he said
he had to remove the radiator and some other part to get enough room to fit this in
that I had ordered ahead of time thanks to Spyder member SC92 suggestion and link of where to get it here http://97.74.103.94/files/gauge.pdf

The install was time consuming.
Yes I believe the gauges came with instructions, I will look tomorrow.

I also ordered a rubber boot cover to help with protecting the integrity against water on the back of the gauge. They said it was used in off road vehicles

Not sure of the answers as I did not do the install. My mechanic said he had the gauges designed to shut off on the same
circuit that controls the bike shut down. In other words when I turn the key off and there is a delay and then the screen
goes blank after 5 seconds, the gauges do the same thing.


Mee too. Me too!! All of the above questions. They look GREAT!!:congrats:

Thanks, I like them alot too.

The one thing I hope for is that someone at BRP sees these and says hey this is what we should have on out 2012 models, and they contact AEM and the other company that makes the
fitting conversion from metric to standard or AEM makes it so the fitting isn't necessary;)
And we can get these with the BRP logo instead of the AEM on the dial. And we get the temp and gas gauge on the standard display where it is more accurately displayed as illustrated
below. And guess what, BRP makes money, AEM makes money and hires more people, and we the consumer can get these already on our bike without having to spend time doing what
already should have been there on a delux model. There are some of us that wanna buy the whole shebang from the get go. Sorry, I start rambling when it gets late.:D

Wow those look great nojoke:thumbup:

Also sorry to see that your LCD dash burned in the ghosting RPM meter... :( Mine got so bad I had to replace it...
 
digital guages

The digital looks great, I would like to find a digital electric clock that mounts permanently into one of the gauge holes on the RTS and also perhaps a nice compass like the one in my suv. It would be nice to see a clock that old worn out eyes could read.

P.S Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all
