I am making a custom gauge cluster for my 2010 FXD.
It is going to look something like this but with less duck tape and more wrinkle paint.

 

Just curious. Can you turn the bars from lock to lock with that set-up without putting a divot in the tank?

 

what are you using for the line to the oil gauge?

 

Yes.

 

It's from a '99 FLH so it's electric. I need to get a sending unit and wire it up.

 

I think it will be good.

 

I'm using some scrap steel I had that is 0.065 thick. I think it will work just fine.


It seems to be a good thickness to fit between the risers and the clamp.


I had to grind off these rings from the clamp.


Each gauge will be angled back about the same as the stock speedometer bracket.

 

With your fabricating skills, It'll work.
Do you have room to tuck the oil gauge up closer to the bars between the other two gauges?
(less is more = smaller footprint)

 

Is there a secondary bracket that secures the gauges from underneath?

 

Here is the setup on my 1991 Sportster. I just used the stock bracket flipped 180 and upside down. PITA with the older bike due to the idiot lights, but gauges were easy. Without the lights I could see you OIL gauge stuck in the middle. Fresh wrinkle paint.





PS note that HD put it on top of the clamp, has longer bolts and a spacer below the bezel. Just a thought, having it between the clamp and risers might compromise the clamping ability.
