Default New fairing, seeking speedo mounting options




Finally got a new fairing. Decided to go with a fleabay t sport. My speedo is currently mounted to my left fork tube via the joker machine relocation bracket, but no matter where I move the speedo, it either hits the fairing or the tank. I am not a fan of the Mickey mouse ears...is there a way to mount to the side of the bar risers? 14in wcoast tbars btw.

Get 2 of those cheap cable routing clamps and run a bolt through them and your speedo mount. Put some loctite and a nylock nut with a washer on the back side.

Yup. Or get a T-bar gauge mount.

I like the mount to the side of the T-bar idea. Then it could hide behind the fairing. Possible clamp:

That clamp also looks like a good idea! I purchased a clutch cable clamp. When it comes in, I will post a pic with how it works out. If that one tanks, the other clamp is definitely on deck. Thank you guys for the ideas.
