New R56 gauge faces?
Anyone know if someone is making replacement gauge faces for the R56 yet?
I love the black ones from Outmotoring, but they don't have 'em for the new models.

I heard they started making the new speedo plates but they were just too ideally suited for baking large pizzas...

Did these alternative gauge faces ever become available? Is there a source for these?

As of a couple months ago Lyle at Vinyl Styles could do ones for R53s and pre-2011 R56s. He didn't have a template for the 2011+ R56 face.

I'm in, especially since it would mean mass production and not just overloading Lyle. Do it OutMotoring!
