Hi guys. I have a 2010 fxd . I have changed bars to pullback street slammers now my speedo looks akward sitting on the bars. As many know the speedo was designed to suit either ape style or goat horn style bar. I however have fitted a lowrider tank to my bike. The original FXD tank also has an ugly sscratch which needs paintwork and i dont wanna spend a forune on paint and oem decals. Original fxd tank and bars Original speedo location and fxd tank Original speedo and fxd tank With new bars and Fxdl tank With new bars and fxdl tank
Issue now is i cant connect both tachos on since the original fxd only came with one tacho for speedo. I thought this was my cheapest option but cant seem to get the loom off a fxdl to complete my setup. Anyone know or have one speedo loom off an FXDL to fit my tank. Tank is off a 2010 fxdl as well. Or alternatively i will take suggestions

Be sure the bars suit you. There cool looking but felt terrible to me
I worked on a set up fitting the shifter and bar set for a friend with a CVO Dana. It was more or less eyeballing him in it.
He's 5'4". I'm 6'4". He wanted me to ride it. As set, of course shifter was madding and he had a lock up clutch which had no give.
But the bars were set like your . I rode it about 5 miles. All I wanted was off it as far as driveability. My knee was 6" above the tank shifting. But those bar hurt my wrist. That angle is just wrong for a Cruiser type I am use to
He seem to like them. Definitely liked were I put the shifter. Clutch didn't bother him. The way he drove was crazy.

Hi Jackie
thx for the welcome
im still trying to work out how to manouver around this site. About my Dyna, my wife rides it more than me and she chose these handlebars as she is short( 158cm ) and prefers riding with the mid controls. Just trying to see if i can do an easy cheaper setup
thx
