I was wondering, can a 95 Honda Goldwing GL1500 run without the gauge cluster?
I'm asking this question as I wanted to do some fabrications and was thinking about, if I replaced all the gauges with Digital gauges would the Goldwing operate with non-OEM gauges
Or does it draw some sort of signal from the cluster?

Re: GL 1500 Cluster question
Yes, it will run without the gauge cluster.
I completely removed the wiring harness on my naked 1500 leaving only the ECM which I have wired using 7 of the leads. I also removed all the vacuum lines and inlet manifold heating pipe work along with the air bleed pipes into the exhausts, all of which I blocked off.
Despite that everyone told me " it will never run right'.... It does!!!! Runs fantastic!!!! Only modification necessary was to go up two sizes on the main jets

Re: GL 1500 Cluster question
Also, I replaced all the gauges with an electroinic unit I got from Banggood that has everything. http://us.banggood.com/Wholesale-Wareho ... 63140.html
I am working on a sensor for the revcounter to be accurate on a 6 cylinder, currently it is way off as it is designed for 1, 2 or 4 cylinder bikes
