Relocate speedometer/dash/ignition
Ill update with a thread soon, parts are arriving, and i should be finished the CAD design for the mount shortly. Going to make some prototype mock ups from plexi to make sure everything is where I want it to be, then send the drawings out to have it machined out of aluminum. I'll post pics along the way, hoping its a pretty straight forward project!

I think I see a jockey shift right there.
Honkeylips: How long u been running no speedo? I've considered it but didnt know how hard it would be to get used to... Also, the dummy lights. I know I know you should be able to find nuetral without a light, but sometimes its not the easiest

I do have dummy lights. They are little LED lights on the back of the fork panel. In that pic, you can see two toggle switches (air ride switch and headlight lo/off/hi switch). Anyway, there are 3 small led lights next to those (oil, neutral, and check engine), they are just hard to see in that pic.

Yup, jockey shift. I haven't had a speedo in a few years and don't miss it. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to gauge your speed (especially if there's traffic on the road). When I pass those radar speed limit signs that display your speed, I can always guess my speed within +/- 2mph. If you're on the highway with no traffic around, it can be tougher to gauge your speed, but other than that, no biggie.

Fenres: I removed and trashed my dash, relocated my speedo and eliminated my fuel gauge/cap all together. I moved my ignition to where my horn was, bought a new speedo and relocated it to my rocker box. I then took my tank to a welder I know and he grinded the seam in the middle of the tank and filled in the gauge side. I know a guy who owns a collision shop and he took care of painting it for me. All said and done, the project cost $200 and three cases of beer.
