the offset pulley i ended up buying an atlas one, but was a 22 tooth, so sold i and machined my own 28 tooth.

also made the simple bearing support plate. nothing fancy.





...and I can barely afford a pair of used air shocks

Which functions work with the sportsters? Temp gauge, tach?
The highspeed recall is pretty cool.

All the functions work. It's really great to have the tach and engine temp being displayed on the Iron. You can also set it to remind you of when your next service is.

There are a few things that you need to set manually, like the gear selector and bike type (Sportster or Dyna for gas purposes).

Gauge is really EASY to install and setup, but it is kinda pricey.
