Have been gradually doing cafe mods to my 2007 S2R1K, and instrument cluster was a frustration as the Sport 1000 cluster is about $800, plus extra fee for reprogramming.

So, went DIY. Had to source parts from Poland, though, as I couldn't find US source.

Ordered a faceplate from Venoxy (they can do MPH if you specify) Ducati Monster Sport Classic KM/H Instrument Cluster White Gauge Faces | eBay

Then, ordered aluminum rings from didotuning: DUCATI MONSTER 695 Chrome Cluster Gauge Dashboard Rings Speedo Trim 2pcs | eBay

Painted the needles, and used a headlight restoration kit to clean haze from the lenses. All in all a couple of hours of simple labor an a cost of less than $100 to recreate Sport 1000 cluster.

Nice job. They look very good. They have the old school look & very easy to read.

I like it! How hard is to to dissemble the cluster? Do the rings glue on?

It's not very difficult. Take out the screws and gently pry it open - there are plastic tabs inside that you need to finesse to get the cover off. I used a headlight refinishing kit to clean up the lenses. Twist and pull the needles to get them off. I attached the rings with silicone adhesive.

do you still see light through the numbers when its turned on or is it just black?

Did the gauges zero correctly? Are you speed and rpms accurrate?
