I love the DDP windscreen look. I'm going with a 12" myself, but I'm only 5'7". Unfortunately, I don't have it yet... I've been waiting for the bike since November (Wanted silver, apparently they are hard to come by in Canada), but it finally arrived yesterday. Going to see it and do the paperwork today. Still waiting on a few parts, so I won't be picking it up until maybe next week.

I wear a FF helmet so the tach is just about invisable, moving it to the stock fairing fill panel.
Maybe I can find a useful gauge to put in the blank dash hole.

I was debating on the Memphis Shades Road Warrior, but I just don’t like the design...

Can you post a photo of the clips?

Thanks
The posts on the faring are not that bad, the problem is that their is a lot of movement in the rubber grommets that come in the kit and that stresses the plastic ( like when you trying to brake something in half and bend it back and forth). The fix holds everything super tight and I think its going to keep the posts from braking do to movement stress. Pics attached, sorry not the best. It is a pain in the a$$ but definitely doable. Get a friend to help if you can, just to push in on the faring when attaching the clips. I did it alone but would have been easier and faster with help.

Or a cup holder...

Wouldn’t the speedo be better up higher if you can still see the tach moved to speedo’s former position? I find myself looking at my speed more then RPM’s, which I have a pretty good feel for just on sound of the motor.

Still have to re-do the wire harness.

I'm looking at the tach more, especially when motoring through the gears. Cars like that too, if I needed a place to mount a tach, put it in front of the speedo.

I set it on there to check, just need to make a round plastic puck to fit in there that I can velcro the PV to. The PV cable can actually run inside the dash panel.
