Has anyone replaced the stock gauge cups for something a little more... non-plastic?

I've been looking at the Dakota Digital cups that mount with a clamp onto the bars.

I really can't stand the plastic POS wrapper that's on the stock setup, has a very cheap feel to them.

What size are the stock gauges? 3 3/8"?
 
But that's more gadgets. I don't want gadgets, I want cups. Real cups for the OEM gauges that aren't mounted to the clamp, I want to bar mount them so they are out of the way when I pull the tank up.
 
If you find a solution, Juggernaut, I'd be interested to see it.

Not happy with the plastic cups either - on both the speedo/rev counter and the clock/fuel guages.
 
Speaking of Owl... I was just doing an image search for Rocket III ITBs and a bearclaw because I'm working on a CAI design and this picture came up...

Any chance you know the gauge size?
 
Just been out for a quick measure & the big ones seem to be 85mm, small ones 60mm, but theres no way I'm taking the feckers out for a proper measurement - they're a bastard to put back in.
