Default Customized speedo?
Our very own Al is an EE and is working on customizing speedo's. Mine will be the first or second done. We are going to change the light colors and the black background. I am thinking a really cool rat fink with a white background. As far as light color, what do you guys think? Red? Green? Let me know.

I prefer blue though it won't go with RF. Probably either red or green with RF.

I was thinking green too. Just pulled it out of the bike and awaiting his arrival! I can't wait to see this all done up. Plus, I get to clean off the inside of the glass from all the moisture that builds up in there when washing the bike...

Hopefully we will be able to mod any speedo once we get the hang of it. Get your ideas ready...I am the guinea pig as usual.

I posted this originally but since it didn't sound like it was an offering to the public yet I changed it. Buddy of mine is rebuilding/customizing a '74 shovel fl. Doing a led sled theme... I am sure he will have an idea for his.

I had mine done by a place called eyezon (I think, got name at house) not sure if they're still in biz, had to get mine done twice, it kept lifting and small bubbles under graphic, I had mine done with the harley #1 logo. looks great from a distance, get up close, bubbles again. beware!
