I wasn't happy with the fitment of the gauges. I was having clearance problems hooking up the speedometer cable, it was hitting the headlight bucket. I got a different mounting bracket with the high beam indicator in the center of the bracket. That moved the gauges farther apart and gave me the clearance I needed. I like the look too.

I got a chance to put the tank and side covers on today only to discover I have the wrong petcock. I still need to get a rear fender rechromed and I'll be done.
