Default Speedo/Tach Swap

I've got the fairing off and adding an amp, new speakers, tweeter pods, led bulb swap and am having led's installed in the speedo/tach. I'm considering moving the speedo to the right hand spot and the tach to the left. There's plenty of slack in the wires so no mods are required to the wiring harness. Most all the cars and trucks I've owned have the gauges in this position and it seems natural. Has anyone else moved them, just curious.

I've done much of what you've done, but I have to say, I havent given a moments thought about changing the position of the speedo/tach.

Never really gave it any thought either,but if I get around to getting that extra inner fairing sitting in the shop painted,I just might swap them side to side just for the hell of it...
