Default Moving the ignition to the tank
I have an 03 FXDL and wanted to move the ignition to the tank. I was thinking of going to a tach/speedo combo and using the lower spot for the ignition. Has anyone done this? Can it be done?

Yeah! Where's the kit?! LOL

To the OP - Yes, there is a real good thread on it. Something like Ignition relocation.
