What yall think? The only thing I wish I did different was to put the neutral light inbetween the hour meter and key switch, kind of above, that kind of looks out of balance...

I wish they had hour meters on them factory, but, when I buy a bike I can pretty much tell the condition of the motor just by riding and listening to it, I am quite adept and diagnosing engine noises from working on my chevy. I also have a engine stethoscope so I can hear things that aren't easily heard by a naked ear.

Yeah, I think it would have looked better kind of forward and in between the ignition and display.

well, that was the only place I could put it that it wouldnt get messed up, it would fit, and wouldnt look like crap. Unless I made some sort of bracket, which I didnt feel like doing... this way it all comes off when I take the front plastics off.

barely anything, theres a black wire coming from the keyswitch that gets hot when the key is turned to on, I cut that close to the switch, put spade connectors on each end of it, put them on the hour meter to the specified terminal. very clean and easy.
