I'd be interested in this too, don't realy like the way the gauge(s) look when exposed.

Those are typically one time pressed on... not saying it can't be removed, it just might cause damage and be rendered unusable if you do. If you figure out how to remove cleanly, please post.
See Marc's post above, and as mentioned, if you are handy, you can remove them and cut/sand the excess off. Since I can now 3D print, I might be able to offer a solution to offer folks here. How many would purchase them, and/or how many here can 3D print?
I would certainly be interested in buying one. Can't print myself though.

I’d be interested if they were good quality, and inexpensive. I’ve regularly had prototypes 3D-printed using a few different Internet channels, and I am familiar with how (ridiculously) inexpensive it can be to have parts printed. In fact, that was the next avenue I was going to pursue...
The main thing is that if you offered a decent quality housing, made of UV resistant material, as only a minimal markup to the drop bracket, I’d almost definitely buy the package. Another option I think I’d like even better would just be to open source the design and link to it on the shop page for the bracket. No markup, and people can figure out how to get their own made if they want.
You can paint it with "Plasti dip paint", no need to disassemble. It is more easy and secure.

For those with the single gauge drop bracket, I can confirm that the OEM housing from the V9 (part number 2B001223) is an almost straight fit. You'll have to slightly widen the cutout at the bottom of the housing to make it fit Todds bracket, and find a new location for the air temp sensor (but you'll have to do that regardless).

Looks GREAT(!). Well done. Thanks for posting the pics.

Is there any chance you could post some pictures showing the necessary modifications to make this happen?
You can modify the Existing gauge if you're not squeamish about cutting plastic.
Late reply here. But DeadEye sums it up.
get a dremel tool, a cut off wheel, and some sanding drums. With some patients and al lot of back and forth (don’t cut too much at once) you can guide yourself right into fitting it.
Here are some in process pics:
I was a bit off when cutting the body from the base which necessitated a bit of extra texturing on the bottom surface, no one knows except me and All Y’all now...
PS: This isn’t something I would normally jump into, but I did and it turned out just fine !

Very Nice, did you use the same, mask and peel approach ?
WAY easier than all my fiddling !
How much ? ( was my time worth)
Sorry for the late answer
The cover cost me around $50 including shipping from England (I live in Denmark).
That is a pretty good price !
Yup, not too bad at all. You can't mount the back cover if you use the V9 part though, in that regard I think your solution looks better
Why ? Doesn’t the V9 have the same setup for the back cover ?
(Eg: same screw holes .)
it was a PITA getting the temp sensor back where it belonged/fit in the hole !
I wasn’t quite paralle when I was cutting the cylinder from the mounting bracket, so I had more work to do on the underside.

For some odd reason, the V9 doesn't have a back cover at all.
I relocated the temp sensor, it now lives with the cables going down the left side of the frame.
