Harley Gauges in a Non-Harley????

Can it be done? I know the Harley has a higher speedo (not sure on the Tach)

But does anybody have any light on this?

why? just for a speedometer that reads to 130, and says, "supercharged?" you really shouldn't being going that fast in a non harley/lightning, for safety reasons, especially if you have a 4x4... in all honesty, it probably wouldn't be worth the hassle, time, and expense, and certainly wouldn't improve resale value... i'm sure it could be done, however, it would be more expensive than its worth, imho...

If you just what a different look, there are plenty of overlays you can choose from.

Just curious, and what with the third degree?

I just think that look good and... that's about it.....

Sorry to bother you with my asinine questions.

There's a bunch out there, depends on what you like, from flames to different colors. Just check out JCWhitney, stylinconcepts, ect. I'm sure you can find deals on E-bay too.

sure it can be done, some people have had to reprogram their new cluster to their current PATS system, some havent.

This goes for both the Lightning and the Harley clusters

i didn't mean to sound mean, but it just seems highly impractical to me. and yes, i see the other side, and even contemplated doing the mod, until I thought it through, and all the additional parts that would have to be changed in order to accomodate the new cluster seem not worth it to me... but then again, its your truck, and your money, so i really should just shut up now... again, sorry for sounding like an ***...

You could use the 00-01 style Harley gauges. They are the same as a a regular F150 with tach, only difference is appearance. These guys seem to be talking and thought you meant the 02-03 style Harley gauges that had the supercharger in it and the 130mph speedometer. The non supercharged ones only show up to 100mph, just like the F150's and Expy's. And if you do change your gauges with the harley ones, you'd have to get it programmed because of PATS.

00-01 Harley





same layout as normal F150 from 99-03




02-03 Harely, a bit different, 130 speed and "premium fuel" label and supercharged logo is in the tach

I thought it was worth changing out my STX cluster with a FX4 cluster. Now im stuck with a $280 cluster that wont work in my truck, and a bunch of really expensive estimates to actually put it in my truck. I could buy a whole new top of the line exhaust for as much as this cluster would run me. I guess Ill have to settle for no tach for now.

Does your STX have RPM and is it old or new body style?
