    Speedhut 4th of July Sale - Finally ordered my gauges

    I finally ordered my new gauges from Speedhut to take advantage of their 4th of July sale 15% off.
    My Mk1 has the stock gauges that I really, really, really don't like.
    I eliminated the oil temp gauge from the kit for two reasons. 1, I don't think it is needed, (for a street cruiser) and 2, I'd need to cut another hole in the dash etc.
    I also swapped the 180mph GPS gauge for the 140mph GPS gauge as for me, it just makes more sense. (previous threads on this)
    Also, I asked them to program the odometer so that I wasn't starting again at zero.
    I didn't make any changes from the stock face, pointers and no logos.
    Can't wait to get them!

    I took a quick 3 day trip to NY this weekend. Hertz gave me an Infinity Q50. It had a 180mph speedometer. The only good thing was a big digital readout of MPH in the center of the dash, otherwise I think it would have annoyed me more. If I had a 180mph speedo in my Mk1, I'm sure I'd get used to it, but right now I'm glad I got the 140mph speedo.
