fitting alternative instruments to 31K?

[scottie58]

My original kidney clocks are well beyond repair - investigating if I could fit FZR 400 or 600 instrument clusters as i saw this on a hybrid. Has anybody done this? Will the speedo drive need changed, wiring loom connections etc?

Or will a set of F2 instruments be more straight forward to fit? I could fit a Vapour dash quite easily but want to retain the retro look .

Ideas, suggestions welcome

You can fit N1 style clocks :

but you would need the correct bracket to fit them to :

The other thing is that you would need to adapt the LC2 wiring to work the tacho as the LC2 is mechanical driven and nearly everything else afterwards is electically driven, pulses off the CDi usually.
You could probably fit F2 clocks as well but you'd have to make up a mounting bracket for them.

Have made and sold a good few clock sets for Lc2. N style, FZR 600 and even Lc clocks.

Simply need to fit the lc2 clock loom in them as well as a few mods. You will need to run an extra wire from the cdi to the tacho as they are electronic ( have to use a ypvs tacho ) and the lc2 has 2 indicator warning light and the N/Fzr/F only has one so either fit 2 LED's behind the one light or get an import tacho with the red speed warning light to use for oil and fit another amber light where the oil was.

Forgot to mention, if you use fzr clocks the speedo cable exits the clocks at a different angle so you may need a longer cable.

thanks for the info guys - certainly got me thinking. Making a bracket should not be a problem, like the idea of an electronic tacho. Blank off the drive and one less cable to route.

thanks
