As for an initial report on the rocker mounted gauge, everything is great after about 1500 miles. No vibration at all, visibility is not a problem either. Low fuel light does not work as expected, apparently there is a variable voltage depending what level the fuel is, so the light is on all the time, just gets brighter and dimmer. The stock speedo must have accounted for this and turned the light on when it saw a certain voltage. Oh well, I'll figure it out next winter. The only other issue is the speedo itself is reading about 7% high on mileage, haven't confirmed the speed to a known source yet, but I suspect that is off a bit as well. Not sure what to do about that, no adjustment in the speedo. I'll just deal with it for now, maybe swap out the unit and see if there is any difference.
But, so far, so good!

Blackline Dash slightly modified to fit softail tank and seat configuration, homemade rocker bracket for all the instrumentation.

I have thought about that, been looking into options for getting the bracket machined at a reasonable cost. Making that bracket in my garage with basic shop tools is a time consuming project! I'd have to solve the low fuel light issue or eliminate the light completely. Just not sure what the market really is for something like this, and drafting the wiring diagram would be a bit of work too. Still, might make a good project for over the winter!
