Had mine off a while back. It's actually surprising how simple it is. Especially on a vehicle. What were they thinking, making it easy to work on.

Refreshing after seeing what a popular truck manufacturer did to a simple part like battery post clamps.

It is being worked on...but it is a very different set-up for the shifter with mids. Not sure when we will have one.

There is a similar set up for mids (not near as nice looking), I think V-Twin has them.

So i RE DID my gauge trims. Did it with wrinkle black this time. Figured it would look better and reduce some glare when its sunny.



Pretty close match!



Looking good!



Pretty good match!



Boom



Love it!

Installed my knock-off daymaker headlight.
It was a bitch getting it to fit in there compressing all the wires.
The retaining ring has to hook over the lip of the unit or it will probably vibrate out and bite the dust. I had to mash, push, pull, re-arrange, pray and shove like hell to get it pushed in far enough.

I also installed my Badlands ATS-03 turn signal module and some other miscellaneous wiring pieces on my way to wiring up this old girl.
