Of course I do. I needed to find out information on Speedo Color Changing. What better place to come to than a Harley forum.

What? Did you think I was going to go to the Touring section??? LMAO!

I know the Dyna people like to mod their cycles to the max, so I'd figure I'd come here. Two awesome dudes helped me out and I found out exactly what I needed. Looks like I chose the right section, didnt I?

I simply made a comment - not sure why you felt the need to send me an insulting PM.
This forum is a 2 way street - I look forward to your contributions .....

You might want to send your speedo face so they can installed when they switch bulb. Here is mine, took me about 4 hrs to pry rim around speedo.

Awesome Dude! I;ve never seen that done before. I'll look at the directions on the dyna section. Totally worth looking at. Thanks!

Gauge Backlighting - Bluegauges.com

Scott at Bluegauges.com is incredible to work with. I shot him an email and responded very quickly. I told him that I wanted to have green L.E.D. back lighting on my speedometer. He told me that he has never done my model. He told me to ship my speedometer to him.

The same day he received my speedometer, he was finished. He is extremely fast!!!

I just got my speedometer in the mail. IT WAS PACKED SO NICE. He cleaned my speedometer and shined up my chrome dash plaque. He DEFINITELY puts PRIDE into his work. He is TOP NOTCH! TOP NOTCH!!!

The bike looks incredible. I can't tell you how excited I am and happy to know that everything is 100% perfect. I put my speedometer back on and took a test ride. The speed is 100% correct like it originally was and the fuel gauge went back up to full like it originally was. Everything was awesome.

Please send Scott your business. Thank you.

On the website, he is offering a variety of colors.



There is his internet picture of his work. FANTASTIC. The green is so bright.

The speedo was packed WAY better than when I sent it.

No problem man.... I was lookin at your pictures and saw ur L.E.D. kit. I can't believe how full the lighting looks. It was done really nice. What type of kit did you get put on there? I need to put a green L.E.D. kit on mine. Thanks
