Just finished my Custom Dash Panel to match my Givi front fairing, Billet Aluminum machined in Florida and I finished the gauges and the black textured paint. What do you think?

Since it will be part-time as an undercover bike for observation before an arrest the headlight is on order from HD that has strobes in it. P/N 90050-02 I am a Law Enforcement Peace Officer. Part of our Duty in this county is Bail Jumpers, Probation and Parole Violators, many of them are in MC's. It will now be easy to ride in Poker Runs, go to Bars and to hunt them without standing out. The other will be for small halogen driving lights. Isn't it great to use your motorcycle to do your job..

I've got (somewhere) a left side switchgear for '96-up Police HD, with a combo switch for lights/siren. Never got around to finding a use for them though on the Sporty.

Dave,Nice job. How about a pic of it mounted. If you can get GE to make a small one, a minigun would be a nice addition. The batteries would probably make the bike handle like crap though. LOL

Everything has been riding on this panel. Turn signals, HID ballast, Front fairing. Now it is just a jostling position for space under the fairing. It will be mounted my next monday weather permitting.

I don't know which I would want, a minigun or sidewinders for the people in front of me or the A*holes behind me, mabe both.

My bike is an M2, they came with it when I bought my bike, they look like they were from a fuel injected Buell. I customized the logos in a slow painstaking process.

The dash should help support the fairing nicely. I ended up making brackets that bolt under the top clamp to do the same job. You wouldn't know to look at my bracket that it represents almost 8 hrs of work.

Source for the switches NAPA Autoparts.

Yeah I know how you feel. Hours of work went into every aspect of the fairing and brackets and dash panel. Too much to count, from template to production to finish.
