Woohoo! After buying the bracket a year ago, I finally got a chance to do this mod. This was a big help. I don't have the best patience doing stuff like this, but it was a lot easier than I thought. Thanks guys! Now I don't have to look at that eyesore sticking out between my bars.

Default Dual tachometer and speedo relocate

Hey guys I have one of those fugly side by side tachometer an speedometer on my 01 sportster. Has any one attempted to to take off the tachometer and relocate just the speedometer? Should it be as straight forward as I think it will be in my head? Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Did any body else have to splice there wires to make them long enough? My wire from my dummy lights to the speedo are really short and it looks like I will have to splice it. Is this easy?
