Default Ideas On Road King To Street Glide Tank/ Gauge Console

I'm doing a major makeover of my 2005 Road King and one of the ideas I'm playing around with is this;

I am putting either T bars or MX bars on the bike.

To clean up the tank and have the gauges at eye level I'm thinking of putting a Street Glide tank on the bike and using the dual gauge cluster from the Sportster and Dyna line. It would look something like this;





One item I would also have to relocate would be the gas gauge, maybe use one off the fairing bikes like the Street Glide.

I would assume I would need to possibly change a wiring harness or two.

Any ideas from out there in HDF land?

I could use this fuel gauge in a small gauge pod and mount it on the riser portion of the bar.

No suggestions here but as far as I am concerned none of the Harley fuel gauges are accurate......including the one on my StreetGlide

Yeah, I mean we all go off our trip mileage, but my gauge has actually been pretty dead on. Kind of scary hahaha.

Same here, my 12' SG appears to be right on.
