      I finally had some time tonight to start wiring the gauge and I got most of it finished. Only a few wiring parts remain:

      1) I have the RPM wire left, but the one included wire was blue so I will get a black one soon and then tap it into the ground of an ignition coil.

      2) I still need to figure out how to set up and mount the speedometer sensor.

      3) I am also having issues with the fuel gauge. HERE is a picture of part of a wiring diagram. On the top right you will notice the part with the fuel gauge showing colors tan, white, and green. I tested it with the green (which runs to the fuel sender) and that did not work so I also the white (which is just a power that runs to the alternator and rectifier) which also ended not working.

      4) The neutral light is not lighting up. As mentioned earlier the diagrams show the light uses the red/black wire from the oil sender as the ground and the sB (sky blue) wire for the power. I hooked up the gauge to the sB wire and it did not work. Same while testing with my continuity light.

      5) I could not test the oil light as I have not responded to anyone yet about the cable that hooks to the sender as my bike came without one.

      After the first four I will figure out where to mount the gauge and all is good to go. In my sig are pictures of the XS11 it is being installed on.

      Thanks guys
