Gauge install

Finally got my gauges installed into the fairing. moved the ignition switch and installed some charging spots while i was at it. The fairing had 4 5 1/2 speaker holes and i only wanted to use two speakers, so i utilized the two left over spots for gauges, 1 volt and i water temp. What worked nice was the fact that the holes were just the right size for the rubber grommets we use at work to hold in tail lights on the trucks we build. Capped them off with chrome trim rings to finish the look. As you can see in the one pic my pet raccoon "rocky" was there to help during the install. (more for moral support then hands on.)
