In case you didn't know, install the new battery cover clips while the battery is out. Gotta slip the rear clip onto the frame over the battery, slide it back, then install the front one in the same area and slide into place. Kind of a pain with the battery in there. Looking good, man.

I installed a Dynojet Power Vision on my Sporty 1200. It actually has a digital speedo/rpm/temp gauge along with a ton of other optional gauges built in that you can choose. I'm almost at the point of getting rid of my regular speedo. It was the better buy over the Vance & Hines. It has auto tune, plus a ton of other functions too. Plus Fuel Moto has it for around $400. V&H tuner had had too many problems for me.

A list is generated, giving each person a number range based on the total amount of their entries. Amount of entries is equal to the total amount pledged per episode x the number of episodes pledged to during the build.
