just saw a gladius in person and one of the first things i noticed it that the gauge pod has a gear indicator, can someone find out if that can fit an SV, i don't know who to ask or where to look but i would prob swap the gauges for that

 

[LithiumSky]

That's good. I usually forget what gear I'm in...always try to shift up when I'm already on the highest gear....

 

[intel_killer]

The engines are pretty much the same, so yes it will be possible.

Cost of the factory 09 parts will be prohibitive though, I would imagine at retail prices you could just buy a GoPro shift indicator.

After seeing one in person too, I am curious, but I will wait to pick up one off a wrecked gladii.

It'll prob cost a quite a bit, if you can find one. Just wait till people start wrecking them and get one off a wrecked bike.

and intel_killer, your avatar is rick rolling this entire thread.

 

[nevenelestate]

i completely realized that if someone wanted to buy one from Suzuki it would be expensive

and I also realize you can get after market indicators but the gladius one looks nice since it is integrated into the gauge pod

has any one wrecked a gladius yet? :lmao:

I'm loving the new gauge pod. I've been saying for quite a while I'd love to transplant one onto my '07 for the same reasons. With the new bikes hitting the dealers, it won't take too long before people start crunching them & parting them out.

 

[intel_killer]

Ah, let the bidding wars commence in about 6 months.

Do you guys have bike salvage yards? In most of the BIG citys there will be a place that buys up all the wrecked bikes that the insurance company's paid for.

Its fun to pop down to the one here and look at all the obvious squid bikes. Some how I get the feeling that a lot of the wrecked bikes had riders without gear. Others you can tell belonged to older/ wiser folk who just had a get off.

Its weird to see it in person.

Just buy one of these:

K8 Gsxrs have indicators built in. Why not get one of those?



I was trying to find a picture but I'm too lazy to actually put out any effort.

From the first day I saw one I have said that the 5 spoke black wheels, the head light and the gauge cluster would be fetching TOP dollar on Scambay when the first bikes gets totaled.

Just looking at that makes me wet!!!

Tach signal for sure wont work. It would read half of what it really is.

You ain't kidding Nex. That thing is dead sexy. Wish that was on my bike.

That is the first time I have seen it and it has everything you need in a nice clean package. I will also be bidding on one of these.

Looking a little closer, where's the trip OD? I see what looks like reset buttons on the left, but does the clock disappear when you have the trip OD up? My last bike was like that, and I like the SV dash much better, being able to see the time and have the trip OD at the same time. Anyone know?

 

[Northwind]

Looks like it's made of tupperware ;D Remember folks, just because it's on the same engine platform doesn't mean that the engine management etc is identical, so it might not be as simple as you'd like to make it work (just like with the carbed and injected SV).

On the plus side, there'll no doubt be an infinite supply of crashed Gladii, since like the SV it's being pitched at the noobs.

 

[PaPa-G]

Do any gladius havers know if this will bolt up flush with my S? LOL

 

[SecretMachine]

Anyone tried this with an SV yet?
