Default Sportster S Gauge Fitment

Has anyone tried to or checked to see if the gauge will fit other models? It would be nice if it was plug and play.

Probably can be compatible with Pan America only, there is too much digital stuff inside nowadays.

Fair point. Sure would be nice to have as an option.

If it were possible sans like rider modes etc not being available. It would be cool on the new LRS-T as that version only gets the tiny handlebar screen.

I can't imagine it would be much, if any cheaper than a Dakota Digital, which comes plug and play for many models, even if it would work for some functions.
