Yes they will work
remove your screen, remove the two big plugs from the back of the clocks, they have a releaseing clip just under the plug acctualy on the plug itself.
Strip back the insulation and find the

Black/Brown wire (power)
Light green/Red wire (earth)
Pink wire or Pink/Green if injection (Speedo)
Yellow wire or Yellow/Green if injection (tacho)

Then useing (as much as I hate the things) RED scotch locks
connect the relevent wires on your Acumen.

If you have no idea what I have been talking about take it to someone who does :dunno: :h

Good luck :beer:

hi pal sorry im late to reply when i fitted acumen i tried it all over the place but i did not want to spoil the look of the cockpit!! so the best place i found 4 it was right at the bottom of plastic that goes over top of fairing and round under rev counter i drilled a small hole placed a 2" metal strip onto it pop rivet it on then glue acumen to plate from normal rideing poss u can c clock very well no sun shine gets to it and at night looks great and u still have standard layout unclutterd happy hunting
