When you say brand new condition, do you mean it has never been installed or did you install it and take off because you were trading? If you did install it and rode with it, was it better than the stock unit? How much are you asking for it?

Sorry, I should have specified that it is used but in brand new condition, it was installed for around two weeks and less than 150 miles. In my opinion, it is an upgrade to the OEM gauge for a couple of different reasons, you can adjust it to be a little brighter, and I liked being able to see the engine temp. After having one I probably wouldn't buy one again at the full price of $200+, just depends on what the added features are worth to you. The ability to change the colors of the display was kind of cool but not a big deal to me. I am selling mine for $100 plus shipping which shouldn't be much as its a small box and doesn't weigh much.

The Fat Bob has 1.25" clamp.
If that were the case, I wouldn't have any trouble finding a suitable clamp. As you can see, the Fat Bob 114 has a 1.5" clamp. ​​​​​
I guess they say it's not for the Fat Bob 114 only because of the bigger clamp. I ordered the speedo at my own risk...

I stand corrected. Harley shows handlebars for the Fat Bob that are 1.25" diameter.

Yes, but... look in the specs and you'll see that you have to buy their 1.25" bar adapter set to use 'em. I know, I'm using their Fat Drag bar (a 1.25" bar), so I have their spacers installed to allow for 1.25. The actual stock Harley bars are indeed 1.50" at the center clamp.

I want to mount the Koso D2 on the handlebar because I want to mount a larger tank later and it is better in the field of vision there.

I would say you have two options, change to handlebars that have a 1.25 or 1” clamping area and change your risers and clamp, or fabricate a speedo mount that will work with what you have now.
