Hello,
It really isnt too much a problem to mount it on the dash plate. I
originally mounted it on the rear wall behind the passenger seat but I found
that the radio just got too dusty. So I went with a modification similiar to
the Katman.
I got myself some sheet metal and used the original plate as a template.
Then cut out the appropriate holes to relocate allof the items on the dash
plate. I removed the heated controls since I removed all of the heater
parts. But I did redrill holes for the cigar lighter, Throttle and Choke
cables. The new plate was painted black along with the shift plate so that
the colors match.
Here is a picture of the completed job. It came out very clean and look
quite factory to me. It also only took me about 15 hours to do.
