Well, I never actually started a thread on it. But like you, I was afraid of f'ing it up. I kinda screwed mine up at first. I cut too much of the "meat" off of the clamp leaving a gaping hole on the front of the clamp. However, it was remedied with lots of body filler. I redid 2 or 3 times until I was satisfied. Needless to say, it was a learning experience.

would you recommend leaving more "fat" between where the speedo and indicator meet? And just sand it down to a desired height?

Yes. Maybe even leaving a tad bit of the speedo and grind it down till it looks good. I think it's probably easier to grind it down than to add body filler. However, there might be a few different methods. This is just my experience.
