I bought the bars and speedo and did the work myself.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; i have about $450.00 invested.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; You could save enough money to do chrome switch housings and hand controls, plus braided cables and lines.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; Let me know if you are interested in doing it yourself and have any questions.

$600 seems a little steep for the speedo.

The wiring is by no means plug and play.&nbsp\\; But that makes you appreciate it more.&nbsp\\; I have notes for all the details.
