Hi guys... after selling my street bob, i bought a suzuki gsx 1400 which is now back at the dealer as the efi was junk... so I am back in the market for a HD. Choices are limited. I am looking at a superglide and think it might be the bike but i just find the speedo looks odd... and was wondering if there are any ideas or pics of how to change or move...
[align=left]I am also thinking of a fatboy... so any feedback would be great.
take care... and nice to be back...

Not sure what you mean by looking "odd." I ride a SG and absolutely love it. Did tons of internet/forum/demo research first and it came down to the SG or a Road King. Speedo is larger on the RK but you get more useful gauges on the SG and I liked the location better.

 

If you really don't like it then consider a lowrider or another bob. Moving it is very expensive and really not worth it. You could also go with a smaller after market speedo, but it would still be up on the bars. I just put the HD chrome housing on mine so it blends with the bars and risers better.

 

You could swap the tank with a wideglide and move the speedo there like I did.

That's what I did. You ought to check out the Super Glide Custom, too, which already has the tank mounted gauges.

 

Go to Harley Davidson and check out the FAT BOB,

Or, you could put a black handlebar on like I did, to blend it a little that way...

But, yeah, I prefer the speedo up in front of me. Don't know why.

The other thing I liked about the Super Glide is the cool brushed-aluminum, aircraft-style gas cap.

We're all different...

 

If you find the speedo odd looking, I would highly suggest the FXDC. Most bang for the buck, but I love my Superglide.

You own a Suzuki but find the speedo on the super glide odd? [&:]

Thanks for the replies.
i like superglides -don't get me wrong.
the suzuki is odd and that is why it back at the dealer - which means, i gave it back to him and he gave me back my money.
