Default Tach, Dash, and Lights
I had changed out the St.Bob to the Lowrider Dash & Tach but I wasn't sure what to do about the lights. I had thought about adding LED's to the dash but found that the Lowrider handlebar clamp fit the St.Bob risers. I'm pretty happy with the overall look. Although the front view could use some sort of "trim or finish" but I'm not quite sure what might work ??? I can live with it but I'm looking for some ideas.

Side note - I was actually surprised how easy it was. If I had all the right parts (the first time) it would have taken me a little over an hour.

nice job,
I went with led's in the dash, not a big job, use Lr sub loom, cut off the LR lights and solder on five single led's. mount wherever you want, (dash,headlight,bars, etc.)

They look just right where you have them now...Also it would get your attention faster in the current location than in the dash if you lost oil pressure. Nice job.

I'd be happy with it too. Look like it might be a good place to hang a leather tool bag.

I love my set up, i tapped LED into the dash

you can get the flat top LEDS from radio shack and they have the resisters in them already.
