FXD Speedo
Anyone know if there is an aftermarket bracket for changling the angle on the bar mounted speedo? I would like to put some pullback risers on, which makes it stand up at a weird angle.

I just used some cable clamps with some rubber and a little electrical tape. The wires have some slack so you can adjust the height to your taste. The risers put the stock bars in perfect position for me. If you want better pics just PM your email address and I'll send them.

The risers were used, don't know the brand. The cable clamps you should be able to get at any bike shop for a few bucks. The clamps goes around the riser, just like the handlebar, and then you just get some bolts that fit through the cable holes and the speedo. The risers were just a little bit narrower than the handlebars, so in order for them to fit snug, I put a rubber strip (like a bike inner tube) around the riser then taped it with some electrical tape. With the chrome nut caps it looks pretty decent.
