Mine is far worse than that. I'm not complaining.

Default Nah, Showa's. The front turns are LED and the rear is integrated into the tail w/ LED's.

I'm probably gonna send the forks out to racetech and get em revalved. Honestly the bike feels really good the way its set up now though, much better than my R6 and R1 were.

Default If someone could find the replacement parts...there is more than enough headroom

to make it viable to resell the bits. After all...how many Audi's use this display...all of them are susceptible to failure over time, and the only alternative to date is replacing a $$$ instrument cluster.

I'm waiting for someone on AW to come up with the solution for this before I nominate AW for website of the year!

Default Mine went dead completely for 2 months and after replacing tbb and f-hose (not related) just worked?

It's not related I bought a used cluster ready to install too but now the gauge is back to normal and I can read everything again. I mean the LCD screen was black, nothing for 2 month and after a recent Vag by GMG to check my boost leak problem it turn good again?

Default you probably hit the little button under the wiper stalk by accident.

when our clusters go, they generally go a line at a time.

Default I squidded out my jap bikes with that stuff, the Duc has one purpose, go fast and turn. :-)

If it doesn't make it go faster, stop better, turn better, or lighten it up, it doesn't go on there.

I sold my old one to a guy at ShadeTree Software. I think he is exploring a fix. I hope he finds one

Honestly, with a tinted screen you can't see **** past 130.
