That looks great. What did you do for a speedo?
I have 96 RK tanks with the same dash as yours by the looks of it.
I am going to leave the ignition switch where it is on the front end so I have to find something to fill the hole where the switch goes. I also need a dash insert or I might paint the old carbon fiber one to match the bike.
I am painting the bike this weekend if I can get my shop warm enough. Candy Apple red.
I will post both before and after pics hopefully by the end of next week.

I use Sigma bicycle speedo first.
Later buy speedohealer and electric sensor for that stock speedo.
That FLH nacelle isnt easy to install [:@] real pain in *** [:@] but looks great

Electric works are big too.Nacelle is so small inside that I have to move all wires under seat,that why I do all electrics new.

I have a Schwinn speedo now and hate it.
mine has the RK nacelle and was fairly easy.

What Speedo and what sensor did you use????
Rear wheel sensor?
Where did you get it???
This is the last major stumbling block and would love to get what I need before I go back to work in a couple weeks.
Any help would be great.
