Early R3 instruments needed or info on replacement options

[Ishrub]

@Turk has in-operable instruments on his early 2005 R3 and needs some to register it. His pods are fine, so just internals will do if somebody has damaged ones.

This is Turk's bike's details

Identifier number: SMTTLC00355213285
Identifier type: VIN
Vehicle type: MOTOR CYCLE
Make: TRIUMPH
Body type: MOTOR CYCLE
Model: ROCKET 111
Colour: MAROON
Engine number: 3214176
Year/Month of compliance: 2004-11

I thought I had a spare brand new pre ABS set but it turns out they are for the later series R3s like Roadster with VINS after 443164. As my ABS Roadster is a Dec2009 plated 2010 Aussie model I was surprised to find that my VIN 432260 is less than that and my speedo etc has an ABS warning light and a different dial. I also have a spare used 2014 set off a Rocket X with 12,000klm but it is the same as mine so I doubt these will fit an earlier Classic and they must be for 2014 or later Roadsters.
A separate eBay UK item description below that I had not read when purchasing.

Pete - Could he use something GENERIC just to get it registered? - Early R3'S can be retrofitted with pretty much anything. If I can help at all - just say. An R+D Thread - Different instruments.

Yeah I have tried to tell him that and suggested he read your thread.

See @Turk

An R+D Thread - Different instruments.

He is still suffering shock at the price of stock ones new.

My rider has a Dakota gauge i got off Mitzy a while back. I'm stoked with it.

They look good on the bike.

In my opinion - The biggest PITA with swapping clocks are the ruddy dash lights. I have just HAD TO swap the Speedo on my Guzzi as the one fitted crapped out. Just as a make it ridable option 'til I find a waterproof 4" replacement.

Cheap Koso Speedo from Amazon and I simply fitted a KOSO GPS speed sensor. Calibration time about a minute.

I think I am going to do a Garmin Mechanic + Ecoroute with phone combo or with their Garmin Nuvi GPS unit.
