Its under the seat! if you put a bobber seat on it try to fabricate a metal plate that will protect it!

I think u can remove the front light cover and keep the speedo, unscrewing the two allen bolts over it!!! I did not removed yet, but I will as soon as I´m back home... about 2 weeks!!! Counting days for riding... one month vacations

Hey bro, I took the bucket from a street bob, drilled my triple tree, had to pick-up a little mounting stem. But was able to use all my internals.
(Don't mind the rest of my scoot, it's at he powder coaters) Cheers.

Check my album. You can, but with the speedo in the stock posistion there is not much you can do. When you unsrew the bolts on the eyebrow there is a big post that comes out of the headlight that actually mounts it. People have(like me) made a bracket and flipped the headlight over. This way raises it up. You could get creative though if you dont want to relocate your speedo. good luck.
