There's no way needles in a modern electronic gage jiggle, they're damped and well-controlled. The Street Cup's bounce like the old-school gages. Not hard to program. It's funny.(02-11-2018, 02:44 AM)Ulvetanna_imp Wrote:Serious. Absolutely true, I couldn't believe my eyes at first; "Those needles are jiggling?"

The CB was purposely designed to have an uneven, lumpy idle and off idle engine ‘character’ so it would be more like the old ones. Bouncy needles are a piece of cake compared to that.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I never heard of a Thruxton or T120 doing it. It's just one of those weird things some designer thought would look cool. I could hardly believe my eyes the first time I noticed it.
Designers do all kinds of strange things to give that vintage cachet.
Of analog gages, I sure remember the cable-driven gages on many of my older 80's bikes bouncing, mainly the speedo.
