September 13, 200718 yr Alright guys, I need your help if your willing. I found a little template that you can use to make a new speedo background for my buell. So yes, I will be looking at this everytime I ride the bike. Plus, other people will see it as well. Now what I am looking for. No phrogg in the picture. Thats for sure! I like lightning, abstract, dragons, fire, or anything that your imagination can come up with at the moment. You might have to look into to it a little more, but if you want to incorporate the buell bike in there with XB12R, you can. Something to keep in mind is the places that will be cut out of the picture. Like the numbers and the little rectangle box. Makre sure you form the picture around those, so when I go to cut them out for the light. It won't take away from the picture. This is the site where I got it. It will also provide you with some examples of what I saide above. link. The second picture is of an actuall speedomoter for the buell. Hopefully this will give you a better idea as to what it is going into. Except mine will be MPH and not KmH... Thank you everyone. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with. /monthly_06_2011/post-802-130810200978_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-802-130810200985_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-802-13081022182_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-802-130810221827_thumb.jpg

September 16, 200718 yr Author Can you make them a little more detailed? When I put look at them blown up. they are really pixelated.
September 16, 200718 yr Maybe you better explain what your talking about to me??? I have a 19 in viewsonic monitor set at 1152x864 and the image is the same size as the one you gave us to work with and the only way it looks pixelated to me is if I zoom in 300% do you need the image that much larger? if so I can redo or do something else something else I'm just not comprehending(spelling I know) your meaning though It could be my meds :thumbsdown: too so just let me know bud

How is your 12R btw? i took the one i was riding back because the headstock kept cracking at the weld (went 3 times) i disconnected the speedo in the end so it stayed within teh warranty mileage..
September 16, 200718 yr Author I have no idea what you are talking about. Headstock? Which weld? Mine is working fine as of right now. It doesn't like the cold weather so much, but once she gets warmed up she is good to go!!!!

It doesn't like the cold weather so much, but once she gets warmed up she is good to go!!!! the bit that holds the bearings to hold the front forks onto the bike.. (directly under the handlebars) if you ride it hard the weld holding the downtube to the frame can brake off..
September 19, 200718 yr heres another /monthly_06_2011/post-168-130810201388_thumb.gif /monthly_06_2011/post-168-130810222228_thumb.gif
