I did my own research on eliminating the HD speedo and I think I'm going with the Koso North American D2 unit which is plug and play for our RKS bikes. I'm also looking at carbon fiber center dash panels. Since I run the Kraus pull back riser and H-bar setup I already found out they make the brackets I need to mount the digital Koso unit to my risers.

Right on, thanks y’all. This is the Koso gauge as well. I love it. Loved my Dakota, but love this with my risers now. Those carbon fiber dashes are nice for sure, and great with your kraus risers. I found this dash on eBay from a dealer.
The ignition flash was easy. Scheduled at the dealer to have the cvo flash done. Charged me for a half hour labor when I did my inspection. Then just unplugged the ignition. Now just starts with the killswitch and fob. Love it.

I would still be curious to see other photos of the entire bike...

No sir. Mine was plug and play. No splicing required. You should be good. I did need to order an extension piece because my risers are taller. And honestly, I think my mechanic made it, but you should be able to source one. PM me if not and I will do some research.

You transformed your RKS into a big LRS, it's a very good idea and you did a good job, but that's not what I would do, being the owner of an LRS, I want to move on an RKS for its majestic and classic side.

I have to call Kraus tech tomorrow to see if their digital display holder requires the stock gasket, and mount screws like the Thrashin bracket does. If you look at the Kraus bracket it encloses the entire digital display literally like a box front and rear so maybe it holds the display tight without having to purchase the OEM gasket and bolts. Question does the stock gasket come with the four metal bushings for the mount bolts?
Thank you so much for posting this idea. I wouldn't have known it was a possibility otherwise. I've been wanting to move the huge speedo up for better visibility but this idea is even better! I just hope my local dealer is as competent as yours and knows how to disable the ignition switch. I wonder about those folks 😆. I have never taken any of my bikes to a dealership. I do all my own work but purchasing the digital tech software is expensive!

Hey JB here's the pixs I promised of my new Nasty Hog Rebel chopped color match side cases. I did a comparison of the stock left side and Nasty Hog right side. I opted to save money and transfer my stock lids but they offer them as well.
I know this company may have a bad rap by some, but my first time dealing with them I could not be happier. The shipping was fast, the packaging was top notch and they sent plenty of swag! The quality of the bags and paint are great!
Here's the left Nasty Hog before lid transfer so you can see the detail of the design.
The cases came in this foam lined box, in sealed plastic, and these really nice storage bags.
