Default Idiot lights

Hi guys...Just bought myself another 1993 sportster. The previous owner swapped out the front forks for a set of screaming eagles, but when they did something to relocate the speedo and tach, they must've messed up the bezel, cuz the bulbs are pretty much hanging out in space. Anybody have a suggestion for a cheap replacement? Or a speedo that has LT, RT, HB, NEu, and OIL in one unit? Thanks!

I have actually seen that..only problem is that some of my bulbs are broken, and that clamp is empty, you just snap the bulbs into it. Thanks though!

no prob

you can always drill holes in the eyebrow , get some leds from radio shack or lights
whichever u like - place the lights in the eyebrow and buy a cheapy bar clamp

and relocate ur speedo off to the side

you can get the parts needed to put the lights in the headlight eyebrow if you have one that has the sticker covering up the hole. Have dealership look up part for a 2003 lowrider. If interested I can try to find my receipts for the part numbers.

I wanted a very basic bike and trashed my idiot lights. Installed a pressure guage to monitor the oil. Simply saw no need for them on my Sporty.
