I'm also digging the riser mounted gauges on the new Street Bob. The tank on that model looks a little funky to me, but the clean top with no gauges, paired with the hidden gauges on the riser is very cool. I'm sure someone will retrofit that to a different model eventually.
I'm more or less doing that to my 99. Quite a bit of work, tho. All one-off custom. Pisses me off that I started before MoCo debuted the 18s. Makes me look like a copy cat. Oh well. That's what I get for being so damn slow.

A bunch of short updates spread over many months in my build thread. Nothing really finished yet. It's all been tested and works but I still have to build the final wiring harness and weld the tank back together (hidden rear mount, lifted 1.5", moved back 1.5", relocated fuel crossover, smooth top, ground all welds flat, etc.). Travel, weather, job, and learning how to do leatherwork (among other ongoing hobbies) has kept me preoccupied since late spring. Just now getting back to the bike.
The M-lock is hidden and the bars are basically done. M-unit is mounted next to a little Antigravity lithium, both inside the modified (stock appearing) battery box.
Old, much has changed, but this is the basic idea
Here's a quick photo summary of the electrical stuff...
M-lock is behind this custom carbon fiber trim piece. Can't use metal. It blocks the RFID signal.
Ive only put a couple hundred miles on it, and even with the miserable stock seat and handlebars (waiting on parts) I have no regrets whatsoever. Even still during the break in period this motor has some serious power.
And that FXR is never going anywhere except on the road under my ***...Ive wanted one for years and now I got the perfect example.
