I am beginning to tear down my front end to remove gauges, headlights, etc. My goal is to make the bike much more naked. I am planning on running a small, all-in-one gauge, and a smaller, brighter headlight. Similar to Hillbillly Motors Hellbender, http://www.hillbilly-motors.com/html/buell_hellben der.html

Has anyone ever done this? Any ideas, tips? I need to relocate the ignition as well. Any ideas for placement? Thanks!

trojan has an electrical speedometer that looks pretty small on their website on the 'lighting and electrical' page.

i want to do the same thing, but i think i might just take off the speedo and everything and not put them back on. maybe a small digital tach or speedo. maybe.

translogic has a smaller all-in-one gage, but it isn't cheap.

I have the last generation and I like it, but the new one is a huge leap forward.
Min has a bar tach, gear indicator and timer. New ones have the works.

You can even plug in ignition interrupting quick shifters, or power shifters (like
mine) into the system.

The dash is back-lit, waterproof and made for the vibrations of motorcycles.
Unlike many of the bicycle computers I've seen used.

They are proud of their gear, but from what I've seen it is justified.

Then again, I may be a little biased.
I couldn't ride anything bigger than a scooter without my powershifter (PS4, no longer offered)

Except for a minor problem, caused by operator error, my system has worked perfectly.
Unfortunately the problem struck at homecoming

The gear is still top notch.

Heads up displays are becoming available. Seems like I remember prices in the 500 dollar range.
