Hi Folks anim-cheers1

I have an easy question for you, Goldwingmasters :-D

but before look at this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sM3WXrRiGY

it looks like the hammerhead shark whit that fake tank, but it's pretty nice

anyway, the question is: "I want to do something similar but on a 1984 model, so, is possible to swap the instruments with the digital model?"

if no, why?

if yes, what I have to change and what I have to do?

which are the possible problems?

did anyone do the same change and now can help me?



as usual, thanks in advance wise men anim-cheers1

All he had to do to move the dash panel down to the console is to unplug the fairing, remove the dash from it, and stick the connectors back together. You'd need the dash AND probably the wiring harness from a digital bike; the analog Interstate and digital Aspencades have different harnesses but I'm not certain if the fairing connectors are different. Either that, or make your own adapter harness. I'm good with wiring, and it would not be worth the attempt, for me.
