Dizzy If your talking about changing the speedo from the handle bars ( I can't tell from the pic). Do a search on superglide speedo or changing superglide handle bars etc. There's enough threads to keep you busy all night reading
Good luck Smiley

Spend 30 bucks and replace it with a handlebar clamp cover. It was the only thing I could come up with.

Oops....trying to figure this site out. I've seen some pretty cool set ups, but damn...gets expensive. I was looking at the two piece clamp that attaches to the risers......the only thing is I have one inch risers and don't know if thats enough room for the clamp. Thanks everybody for your input.

You may want to look at this. It is off a 04 Sportster Custom so from that year to present may all be the same. If you do get this setup you need to use the whole thing including the riser piece because the speedo/clamp does not match up with the standard Harley riser bolt pattern. I am not sure how this will all turn out but I'll post pictures when and if I get it installed. Try to find used because the whole setup can be pricey if bought from the stealer. I wish they would make something like this stock on the Dynaglides.

Hey Diz,

I used to think the exact same thing about my SB speedo. It kind of grew on me, then for my birthday my son got me a Harley book that shows models from day one all the way through to today.

Just a thought: Some older models had "butt ugly" features then that folks who own them now wouldn't change for all the money in the world, because it's a classic harley look.

Ours just may be that way as well in the future.

Think about it.
