You have to heat up the guages???? Also what part number is that? I have found some on but they say road king. I assume it would work on a street bob tank.

speaker bays ground out and drilled and mounted for mock up and wiring... grills will be shot in gloss black of course with the rest of the paint work
Sears repair man is coming out to put in a new pump in my air compressor so i can use the air tools to open up the head unit bay... then i can complete the wiring and mock up, tear down and start paint... then move on to the saddle bag speakrs

I know exactly what you mean. That's what's held me back from adding an amp to mine. Everytime I hit a big bump I cringe.
