Red face gauges for Deadcenter fairing??

Ideas and instructions needed. One brother sent me a lot of info on Lavorski which looks very good, but may be over my head. Any experience with Dakota Digital installs and instructions? Open to all options but must look good work good and be relatively plug and play.

I'll be watching too, as I have the Dead Center Fairing on my Road King, and I think it would nice to have the gauges as well. Someone sent me some pictures a while back on this very issue, but it was back when the Forum wasn't working very good, and then I lost them when they fixed it. I'm hoping you get some good responses w/pictures and instructions.

Some of these may look familier! I've decided to post a couple on the site gallery so its easier to reference now that the issues have been resolved with the site.

Your 100% correct.

I've found that sometimes its not what you buy, but what you build!

Well that was in fine print someplace and it sounded good.

I've sent you a PM with the rest of the story!

If I knew what I know now I might have done something different, but Ram is right about the build... There are alot of Ultra's out there and they are amazing and a great buy, there are not many who do what we do to FLHRC's... I've often said, I should have bought an Ultra, but then there's the incredible fun, just putting something else on it. I looked at an 09 CVO Ultra... Unbelievable!!!!! But there is no way I could afford that in one buy... therefore, buy a FLHRC and spend more, but have a blast doing it... There is nothing that makes sense about this from a dollar in dollar out perspective. It's all about the build...
