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 ? [Image: be4872c28e91d5597cea4baaf1a3b7ed.jpg]

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?

RE: 2017 Honda CB1100EX - $8500 good deal ? - VLJ_imp - 02-04-2018

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.
