Default Speedo / Tach removal
I'm recently just purchased my Sporty and I love the Bobber look with only the bare essentials on the bike. So with that said,my speedo doesn't work and I'm considering taking off them off. What would be the best way to remove the speedo and tach so if I choose to reinstall them it wont be a headache? What are some things I should consider before taking them off?

Nothing really,

I haven't taken mine off yet but I don't think there should be much issue. Probably just a connector. It doesn't work anyways so why not?
