Ok initial review the cluster is awesome, got it installed and working in about 20 minutes "had" a video but my helmet cam fogged so the footage is crap. But from the ride i can say that the cluster is dead on (once switched to 19") and works perfect. Once it warms up tommorow i'll take the bike out again and get a better video and a few pictures but otherwise I have no complaints about the product at all.

Good to hear! I assume you where not missing a tap splice? And what's this "warm up" your talking about? It's 65* here in Northwest Montana!

OK, After watching popeicus86 & motocheez's videos, I see the clusters are SLIGHTLY tilted. Mine was too and i thought it was my bracket but it looks as if it might be in the mold used to make the cluster. What i did is loosen the mounting bolts and stick 2 lock washers under the Port side of the bracket shown in this photo. The cluster is now level.....

Mjstef, I did that to my hawk's original cluster for that same reason.That was the first thing I noticed when I sat on the bike how off it looked.I'm in the process of installing the sharp looking new cluster you sent to me.Thanks
