Default DK coil/ignition relo & new speedo/tach

The speedo swap is simple, took 5 minutes. My fuel level sensor is backordered so I'll have to do that whenever that arrives.

Before


After




Next, onto the coil/ignition relocation. Pretty easy, takes about 20 minutes or so. I decided to give the wire tuck a go while I had it apart. I wasn't able to get the plugs under the tank as some others have. I tried for about 30 minutes and couldn't even get close so I decided to just wrap them to the under side of the frame. Not ideal but it still looks way better than before I started. Shaved my front reflectors also.

Before






During


After

What kind of Speedo is that? Is it a direct fit to the factory one?

It's the HD tach/speedo. Plug it into your datalink and upload your bike info to it, two screws on the back of your stock speedo, and redo them into this one. Super simple. You can set all the colors on it independently to whatever you want.

Looks good! How much did you pay for that speedo? And what's the fuel sensor for? Tells you how much gas is left?
