Now, you've got me thinking of changing my 800 to red backlight...   I love the white-face red-backlight of my 1500.   That was almost a deciding factor on which one to buy when I was looking for  my first Drifter!!  But, price and availability at the time won out.

Oh GB it's happening, probably this weekend. (get off work at 7 next two nights.. don't get home till 8, so late to be tinkering. There will be pics when it happens.. Oh yes.. there will. I was thinking of doing blue later down the line (red is just more accessible and no wait for delivery) If anyone beats me to the chase.. Post up pics! (shocked no one has come up with this crazy idea previously)

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.

Meh there is always a way.. just a matter of time and $$$ lol... Which i am short on both atm. (No speedo change tonight) More then likely going to have to wait till the weekend once more when i get time away from work. Unless someone beats me to it.. lol

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.
