So I ordered my f650 dash the other night, but it will be a while before it gets here simply because Ed is on vacation until the 28th. So far, I have decided to move my DP tuner switch down to the new dash panel (I have the guage mount switch). This way I can put my new EGT guage in my pod where the DP switch once was. In the big hole in the F650 dash, I want to install my CB radio and a small GPS screen (maybe a tom tom or garmin). Other than that I don't really have any ideas of what else to put in the hole. I would put the carling switches in there, but I don't have any horns or extra lights yet. So give me some ideas of gadgets or things I could install to fill the hole.

 

Fuel Pressure, Volt meter, water temp, GPR Led light, just thoughts

 

CB could be mounted vertically in the hole(depending on size of CB). I dont think a tomtom will fit, without a lot of trimming, and filling in. You could make a backplate for the long vertical opening, and mount some more guages in it. you could make it a little cubby hole for an Ipod


Other than that, a long box of Kleenex tissues would fit nice

 

Subscribing...doing this soon as well!

 

Switches for rocket launchers, ejector seats, photon torpedos and smoke screen? Flux Capacitor perhaps? J/K

I think the GPS monitor, gauges and warning and/or other lights would be my vote.

 

My CB is fairly small, and I think that it would fit in the hole horizontially. I'm still looking for a GPS that is small enough, and I want a fuel pressure guage. Keep the ideas coming.

 

Can you guys post pics of your 650 dash set ups for some ideas on what to put in there??

 

I will post mine as soon as I get done with it...I havn't even received my dash yet, Ed (FTEPartsGuy) is on vacation until the 28 so when he returns he will ship it to me.

 

Sure, Here is what you start with, and the 2nd pic is what mine ended up looking like.

 

Brandon...

How much farther does that stick out compared to the old dash? Im wondering if my leg would hit it...

 

Mine doesn't, and I too am a good sized person.

 

Appreciate the measurements! Now I just gotta line me up some paint thats not 20 bucks a can! Reps sent...nevermind...seems I cant rep anyone lately!

 

I ordered mine from Ed...in the description it said that it was the gray f650 lower dash panel. Hopefully it will already be the correct color and I won't need any paint.

 

slightly O/T but has anyone put in the 650 dash with a manual trans or the manual 4x4.. or both even?

 

looks like the shifter would hit the 650 dash with a manual...
