    deleting middle part of dash

    does the speedo and tach work from the cable that goes to the engine and the wheel or does it need to be plugged in the harness too or is it just for lighting. i am not doing this anytime soon i know electrical work is a b**** and dont mess with it but i do want to eventually delete the middle section of my dash, the speedo and tach come off of it with one bolt i feel like it was intentional

    if theres any way i could do the gear indicator in one of the gauges thatd be sick but i dont think thats possible for me, itd prob be in the tach

    As far as I know, the speedo and tach are completely mechanical, save for the back lights. I've had them opened up just to replace those lights.

      Now this is kind'f different. Most everyone want everything "to work" on any of these old bikes, the more perfect the better. You're wanting to make yours go away & not "not work"??? Yep, really kind'f different, but we all see things different. Good luck.

        the only thing i liked in the middle was the fuel gauge and gear indicator and the piece that measures my fuel level was rusted out beyond repair so now i dont measure my fuel. and i like minimalism i think itd look cooler with the speedo and tach and thats it. ill hold all the original parts though.
