Steve, those Polks look great and I am thinking of doing the same thing since I am getting the inner fairing painted in a couple of weeks...I am thinking about loosing the ambient air gauge and the voltmeter gauge and moving up the oil pressure gauge.
The holes for the gauges are approx 2.25". What is the diameter of the speaker covers etc and do you think they'd fit? I pretty much don't have any other place to put them on my Road Glide... inner fairing is kinda busy lol.

Thanks

Too funny.....after we win you can send me a pic of your scoot decorated with a scarlet and gray sweater vest...lol

good luck [:@]
 
We'll see, but to be honest, I wouldn't bet a nickle on this game either way. I think the team that wins will be the one that is the least off its "A" game, and LSU hasn't been on its "A" game since VT in September. Don't get me started. LSU is great on talent, short on discipline.
 
I wanted a tach on my Roadie but after installing the detachable fairing could not mount it on the bars. Found this to be a great way to mount the HD mini tach and takes no time to glance at it while maintaining eyes on the road. I bought the mount from a buddy on eBay for $35. It is billet stainless and polished to a high gloss, matches the chrome very well. I am pretty sure he has a few more if you are interested PM me and I will put you in touch. I do not make or sell these, just came across it and it solved the issue...

The tach is a HD mini with silver face to match my gauges. Drilled 2 small holes in the dash and it is solid and does NOT vibrate, even at idle! The mount has the notch cut in it for the HD tach but any 2 5/8 inch gauge will fit it.
 
When you say drilled in the dash, do you mean the speedometer housing? From the pic looks like the tach mount is attached to the speedometer housing on the front side, do I understand correctly? Thanks.
 
Yup, the speedometer is less than an inch thick under the dash. Just drilled two small holes and attached the mount with stainless hex bolts with lock washers and nuts on the inside.\

Maybe this fits in here....it's been posted in an earlier thread, and everybody seemed to like it. It's an Excel spreadsheet I built using the 2007 Touring maintenance schedule. Use it to keep your service records so you don't have to mark up your manual...or to keep track of what's been done if you don't have the manual at all...
