I dont know what you mean.. the fuel and check engine light are on the speedometer for my bike so I'm not too sure..
Not sure what bike you have however, on the Nightster (my year anyway) the lights are in the clamp. So when the speedo is removed and clamp replaced with the one you suggested it leave no lights in my case.
Wait, wait, wait...the check engine and fuel light and in the speedo?
Yeah those lights are in the speedo, then the dummy light or whatever they call em has the Left and Right signal lights, check oil light, and some other one I"m sure..heres a pic.
You could always do what Hecklerboy has done but the way I did it, you'll always have the option to go back to that stock look if you ever feel like it. Also, I dont have a lot of tools around my house, I have a cheap 20 dollar kit that has a ratchet set, a few wrenches and a few screw drivers, so as far as customizing my bike, I need to keep it real simple. The only thing that cost me a good amount was the top clamp but like I said, you can find some cheap ones out there. Also get some hockey tape, someone else here suggested it and it works pretty well when it comes to wrapping exposed wires.
Cool! That doesn't look bad at all. I'll see what I'll do this winter. God do I have a lot to do...
yeah.. i hear ya.. i'm in the same boat.. i'm just not jumpin' into anything until i find the right parts and i'm able to get my scoot looking the way i want it.. thats why i love this site.. it's easy to bounce ideas off other people and see what will work and what won't.. good luck.. post some pics of your bike when your done
