Thanks volaldog for your reply.

My bike is 2005 and the instruments on ebay are from a later model machine which are different and I believe will not operate on my 2005 model. However, I have heard, but not certain that there is a modification available to change an old instrument cluster to new one.

Can anyone offer advice regarding this mod?

I see you saw them too. I thought they were way too exy too until I saw your $2200 new price. Au$750 is actually US$540. US$750 is actually about Au$1040. There is also a R3 being wrecked on eBay here in Australia Triumph Rocket 3 2006 Model Wrecking MotorCycle for Spare Parts 1 x 8mm Bolt | eBay

Been there a long time so maybe gone already.

My gauges have water in them and it's causing me all kinds of mechanical grief. I'd like to pick up a used set. Even if they're not cosmetically perfect.

Might be OK if video confirms working. No drama to plug hole with epoxy metal filler etc.

I am amazed how much they want for severely damaged crape.

You can always use this, it will give you time, just add revs and gear ratios and compute. Keep your brain active and avoid dementia.

, Already sold, you're correct.

Yeah, thanks Ishrub. I realised I'd calculated the US$ reversely after I submitted the post. WTF, it wasn't important. Nevertheless, one can pay AUS$750 and still end up with a dud. I've been looking for several weeks now and almost every set of gauges are from a crashed machine and all appear damaged.

I have actually bought a set from eBay, yip .......... another crashed bike however, I asked the seller before the purchase if they are working and they said "Yes" only to discover they are probably dead. I need to be certain they are actually not working after carrying out some tests with Triumph dealers in the New Year before I make a complaint. Suppose that's what you get buying off eBay.

I also need to be certain that the gauges I have bought from eBay are not the problem. The gauges apparently, electrically check and confirm all engine conditions have been met before they authorise the engine to turn over. I've checked the "Kill Switch" and "Clutch Switch"; both okay. Although I do have lights, horn and turn signals, I fear the gauges "may" ????? be dodgy. You'll be aware that:

1. One turns the ignition key "ON".
2. Then flick the Kill Switch to "ON".
3. Pull the Clutch Lever In.
4. For a second one can hear the fuel pump activates and both gauges sweep.
5. Then when the Start Button is pressed - the engine fires up................. Mines dead.

Can you Ishrub or anyone else reading this offer any advice? I have checked all fuses.

Do you think my tank dents may buff out with a little cut and polish? (LOL)

Ouuuuuch! Looks like your planning on building a mud brick home. No need to keep a foot on her back to try to prove your still in control, havn't you heard of 'whatever' colour ribbon year! What else do you need to get her back on the road besides "a little cut and polish?"

I've got spares:
A set of 2010 Roadster stock bars, grips and end weights, but yours don't look too bad.
Chrome radiator shrouds in scotch-brite scuffed chrome that were painted black that I de-painted, use as is or repaint.
Unmarked rear pegs and usable Roadster front pegs (warning posts worn off and even thread for same worn away on one).
Scotch-brite scuffed chrome fork guards ready to paint or use as is.
Complete stock low km Roadster twin pipes with collector box, minus muffler shields.
Black painted horn cover.
Full set of very low km 2010 Roadster Phantom Black tins - tank, side covers, front and rear guards, though I believe the front guard has one stone/tool drop chip, (I've got a second spare set of guards in red stripe and will probably red stripe my fitted 2010 R3R PB tank to match).
2 or 3 sets (pairs) of stock chrome mirrors.
2 halogen light inserts (I switched to LED).
Stock chrome rear non-rack rear frame covers.
A pair of factory Triumph R3 leather panniers and mounts.
Stock headers with chrome header covers,(but yours look fine).
2 sets of 3x Chrome exhaust flange covers.
Aftermarket US made Jardine headers with chrome cover/heat shields.
2 part Roadster Gel rider and pillion seats.
Stock R3 rider and pillion seats.
2x Combined Classic Long-haul seats with rider's backrest. 1 x brand new never fitted, and 1 used unmarked
2 spare stock Roadster screens with chrome straps and brackets and/or w/o mounting fork fixing kits.
Sports Roadster clear flyscreen with brackets, with or w/o fork fixing mounts. (I have a black flyscreen and mounts fitted now and another Roadster screen with mods and lowers for winter).
A rear blinker post and shell but reflector globe mount (plug in insert) missing (if yours OK could easily use)

Gees, it surprises even me, a hoarder, when I list all my spares acquired in less than a year .

probably not the gauges. with volt meter check while pressing starter button across bat. (maybe jumper wires from car) from ground to all fuses. must have at least 9.5 volts to start.
keep us posted. not to many can bring the monster to life.
