mickey, or anyone else with green gauges, do those gauges remain green when lit up at night or do they turn black?

I think I posted up a pic for you in another thread. Mine glow blue.

Here’s my 2013. Green in daylight. Black (but really still green) at night. Not sure what you’re asking about, though, VJL; don’t you own a 2017 ?

Yes, I do own a '17, but tbe '17 has black gauges, not green. I have a strong suspicion the '14 Deluxe's green gauges don't look green at night, which is a shame. I would love for them to stay green when lit up.

mickey, I'm talking about the green speedo and tach, not the blue digital display in the center.

Yea I know, I believe my speedo and tach have a bluish white hue in the dark. Let me see if I have a pic

Yep, other than the number font being different, our gauges are the same at night.

What? Font different? On the analog or digital?

The font on the speedo and tach is slanted and slightly larger on the '17...




...vs straight and a hair smaller on the earlier models...

Compared to the 2014 models it looks like they italicized the numerals and cleaned things up just a bit on the analog portion of the gauges for 2017.

I actually prefer the look of the 13 gauges..color, font, numbers, 140 top speed (even if it won't do it). More " classic" looking to me.

Honda really did a good job on a lot of the 13's details. I prefer the dlxs silver motor, color matched side covers, chrome waterfall head pipes, and dual silencers though.
