RE: Lowrider Indicator Lights
ORIGINAL: kzad
I used a 7/64 bit, reamed just enough to get a tight fit, put a liittle super glue around the base then pushed them up from underneath, then a blob of silicon. All connections soldered and shrink wrapped...very sturdy and waterproof right now, we'll see how they hold up to the vibrations but i think I'll be OK. (I priced out a new chrome dash before I drilled mine just in case, though.) My next option was going to be the'06 risers with integral indicators, but then I was still limited in bar choices.Now I can go with some nice t-bars like your 560's if I want to...

RE: Lowrider Indicator Lights
I actually did something a little more unique, which I will have pictures soon. I used a street bob dash which is the same bolt pattern. I had it chromed and installed the led panel in the console where the tach used to be. I then bought bombay bars, which come on the new screamin eagle, and moved my factory tach up the bars with a 2 5/8 brushed aluminum tach w/ shift light. It is almost finished. Just waiting for the dash to get back from being chrome. Was going to go with the led's but wanted a more factory look/install

RE: Lowrider Indicator Lights
I have a 2005 Low Rider. I took the stock indicator lights out of the headlight and cut between the speedometer and tach and put it there.

RE: Lowrider Indicator Lights
Timmer...sorry for the long delary answering...I missed your question.
I was sitting on my ride when I took the pic. Looks just like all the other FXDL's with 560's on the Wild1 web site.
Big ride/comfort improvement over the stockers.

Thanks
Here is two pics with them lighted, sorry one is blurry. Cold here and my camera does not like it.
You were right it was a tight fit. Up and down fit great with lots of room. From side to side it was tight, I had to bend the mounting bracket a little and then it all fit right into place.
