Relocating speedometer

Hey all. I have a 2000 super glide fxd. I want to relocate my speedometer. I would prefer it to be on the gas tank. Will a wide glide tank fit on a super glide ? Or any other tanks ? I would appreciate all options to get my speedo off of the handlebars. Pics are attached. I will be getting rid of those bars and getting 12” ale ape hangers. Thank you all!

I went with this sportster set up on my super glide. It may be an option to consider if you like the super glide tank-I did, but hated the speedo hanging over the front like that.

Mine looked crappy (IMO) with the speedo floating out in front with risers-

If youre getting apes, I would attache speedo on riser clamp at least. I have my speedo on tank right now and its a pain in the *** to look at it. Been riding with a power vision in eye sight this year and it shows me everything I need to know, I dont even look at the speedo anymore. Do your neck a favor and dont put the speedo on tank, and dont take your eye of the road. Thats my 2 cents
