The only thing I don't like about this setup is the angle of the gauges. The angle is good on a stock setup with 2-6" risers but on anything near eye level the angle of the gauges can reflect the sun into your eyes and its hard to see the indicator lights. If you use pull back risers, the gauge faces sit close to vertical and you get a clear view of the indicator lights. My arms are too long for pull backs and I like my 14" risers so I made up some slugs to fix the angle. Just need to get them powder coated. I made some extras so shoot me a PM if your interested in a set.

 

you had your gauge bracket p/c'd?

 

Yup, looks way better that way

 

i'm going to do the same. i didn't care for the end result of the epoxy coat... uneven and drips. i'm going to drop it off with the rest of my sportster front end next week.

slug pm coming.

 

let me know how that front end turns out, id love to kill some of the brushed look on mine.

 

This is the setup I'm wanting to do on my fxdc. Were you able to use the FXDW speedo or did you swap to a sporster part?

 

yes sir.... and you'll see it all here too: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/sport...wheel-p-n.html

the fxdwg speedo will fit right in, low rider tach too.

 

way better than the mess i made with the epoxy

 

It's good. Way better than i thought it would be. Sporty looks 100x meaner

 

It does look good. This is one of my winter projects. I'm looking forward to it.
