I just got an 05 400ex and it has risers and tag bars. The center dash with the two lights and keyhole really ruin the look. i was wondering where you guys relocate the stuff on the dash or what you do with tit when you have after market clamps and bars.

i welded up some sheet metal brackets that mounted to the top of my bar clamps, then drilled holes for the switches.

Thanks for the info. I found some material I could use to make a mount earlier. How do you get the key part out? I realize you push in two tabs and pull it through, but how can you remove it from the plastic without cutting it? Do I have to unplug it?

Yes you have to unplug it.

I made mine out of acrylic.
