Deleting gauges
Question for you guys, I have an '86 fxr with the speedo and tach mounted on the bars and I would like to fully delete both of them. How have you guys gone about this? Asking only because I don't want to just hack it apart and would like to do it as clean as possible.

I'm interested to see the replies you get.
I have an '84 FXR and considering a Gauge-Delete as well.
I was thinking about labeling the wires, disconnecting the wires from the tach and speedo, and then tacking them away out of plain sight.
I also thought about deleting the stock gauges but replacing the speedo with an after market, mini speedo.

Unbolt the gauges and toss them into the trash, cut the wires with dykes, tape the wire ends and cram them out of sight.

Here is a photo of a "Richard" for you. I think the boomer purists will figure it out before you do...Bless your heart.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that the only things still OEM on the bike besides the gauges are the tins and the frame because that might have induced a stroke.
