Hey FXDS owners, you guys come up with any cost effective ways of messing with the speedo/tach combo. I love my ride but those huge gauges are driving me nuts. Without doing a tank swap or another expensive alteration, I'm lost on what to do. Any thoughts would be great. Draven, the paint looks wicked. Good work.
