TIM guages are pants

This is my guage setup although I admit it doesn't look too factory.



You can get all sorts of guage pods. Twins makes some very nice items but I'm unsure whether he would make them for other people, nomad do pods off the shelf.

I'd rather have a Racetech than a Tim, but there is a fine line lol
