The J model speedo is white, but has a fuel gauge. The R model is white, and has even more electronics. Looks like you guys might just be stuck with a black face speedo.

What color is the dial? My 1500 is white with red backlight

I love the white with red numbers, I wonder if you can retro fit a 1500 speedo on the 800 (something turning for later down the road) but yes.. red backlight with stock speedo will look killer i think I was gonna go red or blue.. Red is just easier and don't have to order.

  Difference between the 1500 and 800 speedo, mine is black with white numbers, and pictures they are the same for the 800's.

Milky mine is also stock, so I think red would be cool so going to have to check this out......

D1 it is not all buttoned up yet we have at least 4 more weeks before we can even think of riding......

Very true indeed ratman . Mine is almost all put back together , at least the bulk of it .

Milky I would have to say the majority of our speedo housings are stock . I say majority because I'm sure somewhere out there some body has done a mod , but honestly I've never seen it ? Now my mind is spinning , has anyone seen something different ?

Ratman your speedo all lit up red would look cool  ;)

Milky see what you started now my buddy has to tear his speedo apart after getting everything nice and clean and buttoned up  :)

Yeah.. Bad habit.. a random idea comes to mind.. and i run with it. Mines a stock speedo (to poor for another one) But think with the paint on the bike.. something different is in order, besides.. it's a cheap mod.

Think i will attempt this evening.. depending on how i feel after work. I know local parts store has some 194's in Yellow and Red.. so may nab them both and see what i think. Then order some other colors online.

 it is really simple to remove the dash. The three screws on the cover come out and you can access the quick disconnect of the dash idiot lights. the bottom screw will release the speedo houseing it just lifts off then, and there is a quick disconnect again to undo. Then a small phillips screw driver into the reset knob, and turn it out while holding the reset know. It is in there unlees it has been changed or modified by a PO. There is also 2/3 bolts that hold tha actuall speedo into the houseing, then the unit should just come loose and the bulds are simple pull out and bingo.

Planning on tackling this in the next day or so.. How does the dash panel come off (or speedo) so i can reach the bulbs, I looked at Trip reset knob, no screw on end as in display above. (unless covered) If i can get this torn apart, may do this tonight (yes will get pics) Any tear down info would be helpful (planning on riding it rest of week due to nice weather!)
