Default wildone handlebars

Ordered W0560 handlebars from chubby for dyna 04 lowrider. Like the feel but now feel that the tach and speedo look out of place. Anyone suggest remount brackets to handebar that would give cleaner look?

Jeff - just an observation on my part, but I consider having the gauges on the tank with "naked" bars a cleaner look than putting them on the bars. It might just be perception since the W0560's are low rise and sit close to your dash. If you really wanted to move them, then the I think you would need some aftermarket gauge(s) with a t-bar mount - check drag specialties catalog - hoops of them available. Problem you would run into - as far as I know - would be a replacement dash panel for the tank, not sure if one's available that doesn't include the gauges. A bar with a higher rise might also change your "perception".

Just my .02

Thanks for the comments. Discovered it wiould be a lot of work to move the gauges, as I would need to find filler to take it's place. I think the bars would look great wtih a plain tank, however. I'm trying one other option first. Found 6.5 risers from Drag Specialities that may allow me to use the existing bars. They should be in soon.
