Re: how do u mount gauges on SF?
I have never once needed to look at my gauges WHILE stunting. Not to mention I've never hit em, scratched em, NOTHIN! Maybe when I get down from a wheelie or something I like to see what my temp is, or when I'm turning up my idle... but I've never needed to see my gauges mid-wheelie. And whenever I'm riding I just use my left hand and push on the number plate a little bit and I can see my gauges just fine. 
PS.... you are about 1000x more likely to hit your gauges mounted on the side of your bike VS how/where I have mine mounted.

On my f4i, running the correct ammount of oil.. First tiem I learned idle, I noticed a red light out of the corner of my eye..
Next time I did a idle, I looked down at my gauges.. Oil light was on!
Quit doing wheelies and went straight home.. Put a extra half quart in, and tried it again, no oil light!
Glad I ran gauges.. Otherwise I woulda just kept riding..
However now I really don't 'NEED' them for stunting.. But its nice to know if my fan is working (ie if my temp gauge says 250 and my fan aint on, I know im fucked)
nice to know if my oil is low, and really nice to know if im outa gas..
First time I didn't run gauges, I ended up running out of gas lol

damn that looks factory...i just got mine ziptied behind the number plate but angled so i can see them without moving them around...i dont think they are going to hold up much longer being where they are though and i really dont feel like getting smashed in the face by my gauges

Thats the new hotness from FullThrottle. DSCamry posted them up so after seeing them I picked em up. They have 2 different ones listed on their site. One is just the bars.

And the other is the bars with all extended cables. The clutch cable could fit although I dont like how its positioned so I ordered a longer cable. The Front brake lines are okay too but my throttle cables wouldnt reach. I ordered +2" cables from Motion Pro and they work fine.

They're not as high as my old lsl tripple w the renthal bars but I havent had a chance to test them out yet. I will tomorrow or over the weekend so I'll let you know. I love the fact that I can run my gpr w the bars though.
