Looks good popgun (yes, I was being facetious) . How can a guy know about swapping pins in a 6 pin connector and not figure out how to post pics. It befuddles me lol

My display is blue.

Yes, popgun, I did lift the tank. Just undid the bolt at the rear, and pulled it astern slightly so it would lift and I could thread the wire along with the others. Didn't have to take the tank right off.

I just don't understand why not buying red display to complement the bike!

I bought the red one. It looks great, and even though it didn't matter, it matches the bike. Also, I can see it in full sunlight. I also removed the rear bolt on my gas tank and lifted it to get the wire run from the front to the back. There's a "tray" of sorts under the tank where other wires are running so it worked out well.

Well, I thought Red was more for warning, and Green for info. And it matched the Neutral indicator light. Just my thinking.

I bought mine second hand so I got what I got.

Thanks Cormanus for the how to's and don'ts and photos, very informative!

I got the White one which matches the number dials and just for info's sake Heal tech mentioned that the white is the most visible in direct sunlight compared to the other colors.

Hanging my head in shame

You see, I don't know any 12 year olds to teach me

Wait, you don't even have a smart phone, and you're getting on me? Only Cormanus and ClassicVW can do that

Late last year my niece decided to buy an old rotary dial phone at a flea market for $5. Turns out, by identifying a sticker on the bottom, we discovered it was the exact same phone my late mother got rid of about 15 years ago. She could have had it for free back then, but back then it was junk. Today its quaint.
