Hi everyone: My next mod will be racing gauges, and here I am, asking you guys which ones are better than others, about prices, reliability, etc. ANd why is Autometer a lot less expensive than the others? (is it a crap brand?) Any help will be good...thx.

go with autometer... they've been around for a lot onger than any other company and because of this, they are a much larger business - so they can offer products for a much less price. I have AutoMeter gauge in my celi and never a single problem and at night... (same gauges, in a different celi)

Thx for the advice...I'll get the dual gauge pod from Beto, and I was thinking about getting the Volt (for the sound system) and A/F gauges. Any other suggestions on this?? At the moment I just have AEM CAI and TRD exhaust.

the air/fuel gauge is pretty much an eye-candy gauge. By the time you notice it going too lean, it's too late.

when running, your alternator should produce an optimum of 14.4 volts
10.7157 @ 131.31 on my bike
