Speedo relocation?
i've never understood the whole gauge relocation to the side of the bike that people do on rats and sportys. seems incredibly silly:
at the end of the day, i don't care because those aren't my bikes, you dig?
whatever floats your boat.

I like the clean look with the gauges on the dash (although the FXDL dash bezel looks like cheap plastic and I'm hoping to remedy that this winter...) but when wearing a full face helmet, I can't see squat down there. Gas light comes on, might not notice until its too late.

Im use to it on the handle bars but in my personal taste i do like it on the bars. But i was thinking of putting a tach in the place off where the speedo woupd be! I do not look at my gauge most the time. A visual check here and there, just like my surrounding when im riding. My eyes are always busy. But i mostly xheck it to make sure i am not speeding. I do not want any tickets what so ever!

I appreciate all the responses you guys have given me! It helps w my decision. I dont think i like the plates that cover up the holes once the speedo and/or the tach is relocated. I dont think it looks clean enough, in my opinion. I think ill just ride it for a lil bit and make my decision from there. I do not have the bike yest, its on hold for me but at the dealership for me lol.
As a side question. Does anyone know if the street bob has offset clevises for the foot pegs? And if the oem passenger footpeg mount kit is offset clevis as well too?
I was looking at aftermarket ones and harley ones. And man, the hd oem ones are actually cheaper! I do not like the offset clevis idea to much though.
