One of my friends did that in a rail. He always got asked why he had a light pointing at his face.

I like that. I am just now figuring how to mount my gauges into my very tight rail. But the way you did it looks good.

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I've posted questions about this before. I knew guys had done it but when I posted I got nothing. I knew the speedo would fit but having no spare lights laying around I certainly wasn't going to start buying them for testing purposes.

Would you happen to have pics of how it assembled...i.e. the mods you made to the speedo and the light bucket. Is the speedo cable connection inside the light bucket or does it stick out the back?

Thanks, Toby

You can see the speedo mount sticking out in the first pic.
