Default speedo question
Im doing some work on a 2000 Dyna and plan on putting on an aftermarket gas tank thus removing the speedo. Has anyone on here experienced any problems just unpluging the speedo harness and not using it? And any ideas of relocating the ignition switch to the motor/horn mount?
Thanks in advanced

I have been running around with mine un-plugged with no issues. Haven't gone real far but it doesn't seem to miss it.
