"Dash" for mini gauges?

[scott s]

Haven't I seen a dash or bracket for the mini gauges that allows you to keep the ignition switch up near the bars?

I made this bracket for my mini's. If you did put the ignition switch there it might not look the greatest with the wires and stuff hanging down.

Not the best pic, but I have two piece of ~1/8 inch flat stock that hold my ignition switch between the two handle bar clamps. When I ran a speedo it was mounted to the left handlebar clamp and sat next to the ignition switch. I'll see if I can find a pic of that..

Gauges are from Mike's. The volt meter is just a standard automotive part by Autometer.

Im looking into mini gauges as well but have 1 question. when i find the gauges i want how do you set up the electrical part? the stock gauges have a plastic "plug" that the wires lead into and hook up to the bikes wiring. the aftermarket gauges dont have that? how do you wire them up?
Thank you!

Mikes has couplers. Scroll to the bottom.

Thank you!

You may have to scratch your head a time or two but you can probably figure it out.
Mikes crimpers have been reported as a good tool in the past but after my snap ring plier experience you might ask if what is listed is the same. I don't own one or I'd look.

dude. the volt gauge is killer. I was trying to figure out what to put in that awkward hole.
