You might have some trouble with the center bag. If you compare the pic of mine showing the metal strip on the windshield and can gauge the hang down distance it might still fit even with the bag.

If anyone else is interested in this set up, please pm your email addy so I can manage the requests all together. I'll send you my instructions and the pdf of the bracket. I'll also check to see if the shop that made mine will still make more for me. I'll just pass through the cost. The limiting factor on this set up is the 1-1/2 inch OT and OP gauges and housings which HD discontinued but I know are still available at some dealerships.

Presently using Dead Center Cycle Fairing as my gauge console. It also holds a radio.

Have you thought of going with a fairing?

I have the bracket on a PDF file drawing and instructions on how to install. The bracket was 1/8" steel, laser cut and bent to correct angle then chromed. I made two brackets but already sold the extra one to a guy in Texas. I love my gauge set up and on an air cooled bike with upgraded engine, it's reassuring to know the important stuff. If you're interested, I can send you the part numbers you need and the instructions. Send me a PM.

Looks great ! Pm sent for the PDF file.

RK Don,
Do you still have the pics and pdf on this bracket? Anyone else know where you can pick up a bracket like this. This just what I want to do with my gauges.

Any info would be appreciated.

I still have the PDF of my bracket. However, I don't think the 1.5 inch guages are available anymore from HD. This bracket was my own design and I still have the RK it is mounted on. Email me at dappel@tds.net and I can send the PDF drawing of the bracket and other details of this gauge package.

I'd like to see the PDF and instructions. Looks like something the MoCo ought to be making available. Thanks for your product design.

I had that same 3 gauge set up, think I bought in in 06 for my 04 RK.There was a base which mounted to the handlebar cover and there were multiple gauge combos available. I see them on Ebay time to time. Loved having the 3 gauges. Who says you have to use a Harley Gauge ?? Plenty of good automotive gauges out there and some maybe even made in the USA. RKingDon I really applaud your design and will ask for the file as my New bike has only the Police tach and I miss the op and ot gauges.
