Hey I'm new to the site and in the middle of restoring my first Harley. I have a 91 FLHTP and want to put a batwing fairing from a 98 on my bike. I am going to have to get new gauges if I do that though and am having issues trying to find either analog gauges that will fit or a way to convert my bike to digital gauges without getting a new transmission with the sensor built in already. I already have the new batwing that I want to install but have not done so yet. this has been a 2 year long rebuild so far and I am almost ready to finally ride it for the first time sense I bought it.
I have done a lot to it already and will be stripping it completely down next winter to do both full repaint and rewiring this next winter. So I was gunna do the gauges then so if I have to do any major reworking for the new gauges I will already have everything in pieces. So far the parts I have installed are: S&S Super E carb S&S HI-4E timing module S&S single fire ignition 2-1 Thunderheader exhaust handle bar control switches from 98 newer 17in handle bars new clutch, throttle and idle cables to match the bars as well the brake and clutch levers Barnet scorpion clutch new gears in the oil pump new drive belt and chain
still need new to get new tires but after that it should be completely rideable for the summer. new batwing i want to install

I'm curious about the 98 and newer switches you used. Did you have to change out the front brake master cylinder also??
