ideas please, 97 gl 1500, What im thinking is replacing the left side
fairing top pouch cover, the soft one with a piece of smoke plexiglass
to mount switchs and maybe a voltmeter, and cigarette lighter in. Any
idea out there, or has anyone done this, or seen it.

Thanks All

Troy

No reason you couldn't. A piece of ABS might be a better match than plexiglass. I recently installed a 12V cigarette type socket inside on the front wall of my left side cubby. I put it inside so it wouldn't be exposed to weather and such. It came in handy on my recent road trip because I could charge my cell phone inside the cubby with the soft cover on. Kept things out of site.

Thanks Paul:

didnt even think of putting it on the inside. i also found a panel from
fire creek called a wing panel that replces the plastic piece on the
ignition that will do what im wanting to do it look pretty neat, for
all you that havent seen it heres the link www.firecreekacc.com. it
looks like it will work good.

You can also buy a hard pocket lid for the left side. Looks similar to the one on the right side. I forget where I bought mine but I'm sure they can be easily got.

Yeah I think they look good. That's what I planned on doing when I have a few bucks in hand, I'd like an oil pressure and volt gauge on one of the firecreek mounts.
