Default Gauges / Instrument choice

Anyone using Dolphin gauges? There are some nice looking sets on ebay including senders. Not badly priced either, around £200. They are all located in America.

So many sets seem to be really expensive, around £400. Is it worth spending that much more?

RMD Racetech Revotech are there any others worth knowing about?

Bit of a random one - but was riding my motorbike into work this morning, looked down at my clocks and suddenly thought you could make a dash for the roadster out of a set -



Would prob need some elctronics to calibrate the speedo and maybe the original coolant temp sensor but don't see why it wouldn't work

These are a good set, the only thing with bike clocks is they don't have a handbrake / oil level light instead you need to use the 'N' light. Not sure if IVA man would be happy with this.
