Hi all - I'm converting my 1985 bmw k100 into a cafe racer and I would like to replace the stock instrument cluster (gauges) with something classic and smaller. Ideally I could use something from the '70s era bmws (R90 or R100), but anything else that's classic-looking would be great too. Ideas?

I actually like the current cluster's features and information, but it's far to large for what I'm trying to achieve so i'm looking for an alternative that would provide the essential needs. If it had gas level and temp that would be awesome.

I would appreciate any feedback on the topic as I know these K bikes have a lot of switches and functionality built into the stock cluster that need to be considered when attempting this sort of swap.

Thanks!

The brand is VDO, don`t find any similar at their website.
I`ll guess these instruments are history.

I found something really interesting: Acewell 2853 digital speedo, tach, etc. It's pricey at $200, but looks complete and classy.

See here:

Anyone use these before?

Cheers!
