Gauge panel in place of radio?

[Ride Now]

Dunno if this is the right forum for this question; I'm new here. :mrgreen: Anyway, I'd like to put a gauge panel with a volt meter, clock, and thermometer in place of the radio on my '87 Interstate. Probably gonna use a "ram" handlebar mount set up for the phone/tunes/gps duty. Not sure what to do with the speaker areas, but if anyone has done anything like this, feel free to post pics, send a pm, direct me the right thread, (been using the search frantically) or tell me it's a silly idea, etc. :smilie_happy:

:thanks: Dennis

Seems this is the right place. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I had one of those panels on my 1100, I loved it. They are hard to find, I had to get mine from a member here that went naked with his Wing. I never did find one anywhere else.

Actually there is one on the forum right now: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9621 and a few on Ebay. After looking at the Ebay offerings, it looks like they're one big unit, not just a flat panel I could bolt up. However, with a little of this: :builder:, some of this: :beg: , and probably a whole lotta this: :rant: , I think I could make it work. :yahoo:

Speakers look like a great place for gauges and such, it would be easier to see them by the windshield.
