If you have: a: What kind of guages did you find to be best and why? b: Did you have difficulty cutting the holes through your dash? What's the best kind of connections to install to make them detachable without too much problem? Any advise or guidance would be appreciated. Just bought a new Dead Center Fairing, and I like it so much I don't think it's coming off. Guages would be nice addition. Thanks, CCRyder

 

I know the feeling. I bought a Dragonfly 4 years ago & the only reason I have ever removed it was to make modifications & then it goes right back on again....... This is an old pic & I've changed some of the setup since, but itmight give you some ideas....

I have a killer stereo plus the addition of oil pressure, oil temp & a 2" Harley accessory tach in mine. Since I have LED fuel & voltage gauges in my Kuryakyn gas cap setup, that gives me a full gauge complement. . I cut all the holes with the appropriate size hole saw. My OP gauge is a mechanical Accell gauge & I put a male to male coupler in the middle of the line to quickly split it when necessary. As far as the tach & oil temp, I used trailer plugs at the base of the fairing to simply snap apart when necessary.

It takes me about 2 minutes to remove the fairing (the hardest part is just making sure I don't scratch the damn thing after it's off)

I had it off a few weeks ago experimenting with a different set of speakers (I have lower fairing speakers also) & when I reinstalled it I realized about 30 seconds after I started the engine that I had forgotten to reconnect the OP line (it is somewhat hidden & was not obvious that is was hanging loose).That definitely made my day as the bikewas fairly clean at the time.........

Would love to see some pictures. Thanks

 

That looks great. Thanks for the photo. Anyone else, once again photos appreciated.

 

Check out Cohiba Joe and Ram I think they pioneered gauges on the DCC fairing.

 

I assume the pics went PM, could you post them here or send them to me? I'm really close to getting a fairing... trying to decide which one, but would like guages too.
