Should be easy to get some kind of license plate light to light up your speedo.
Warner, thanks for posting this. I am looking for a setup like you've done as I leave the house before sunup most days. I just added a front rack and little pannier and bag to my bike and the bag has room for such a battery and I can mount the light on the rack itself. I think this will work great. Check out my post about front rack storage, there's pics of the rack.

check out the XR-75 build thread, I don't know how to put in a quick link. But he didn't specify what particular dimmer he used. I've been searching myself,I agree sailorsams too pricy. should find one cheaper in a local auto parts discount like pep boys or auto zone. Let you know if I get lucky.
here you go guys, I bought the high amp one. Runs a 55w halogen just fine.

The electricals are all bundled together. I ran everything from the taillight switches, headlight, killswitch and horn wires through the spiral wrap to the rear of the bike and have everything at the handlebars and everywhere else bundled and secured so wires and cables arent everywhere. If you can notice even my speedo wire is run down the front brake cable to the suspension fork. Thats what I mean by clean No offense meant by it at all I'm just somewhat a perfectionist when it comes to things like that.
