Question Guage Relocation FXFBS

Has anyone moved their speedo up on top of their handlebars of the FXFB? I just purchased a 2019 Fat Bob 114 from someone that included a 9.5” riser with Hard Case Performance Single Gauge Pod Housing along with a plate to cover up the hole on the tank.

It hasn’t been installed but I am t trying to get an idea of how it would look with it moved there as it seems like it would be easier to read the gauges vs on the tank? I cant see the gauge at all easily with the full face mask. I plan on installing a Memphis shades fairing with 15" screen so it should still be behind the screen

I am wondering the same thing as I am thinking of doing the same thing. Hopefully someone post pictures of how it looks.

Hi, I've just stumbled on your post. If you are still looking at relocating your gauge. I bought this 2018 FXFB 107 second hand. It was already customised.

Had the same reaction. All the Harley's i've had except for an 06 Springer, i've moved the speedo up on the Handlebars, so it's in my sight line. Also on the tank the speedo on my 2018 FXBS would fog around the bottom where it shows the speed. Still fogs where it's at above the handlebars, but less and towards the middle of the speedo. Also replaced the tank to an FXDR tank. Speedo relocator is from FXR Division, but only ended up keeping the speedo frame and gaskets, had to cut the mount (holes didn't match with the stock risers), and created a thicker mount and welded to the FXR speedo frame. Powdercoated and installed it.
