Default The stupid High Beam indicator light...
On the dash of my Road King sucks. Bright blue, right at the bottom of my vision and it screws with me at night. Poor design decision I think. Man that stupid thing is bright, and last night I was on country roads with the brights on and ran low enough on gas that the damn gas gauge light came on to. Spent miles riding with one hand on the throttle and the other held over the dash to block that irritating light. I'm coverin that stupid light with something I think.

Pop the dash and put in a lower wattage bulb?

I opened it up and put a piece of electrical over most of mine. The only things is the little lines, so much better at night.
