Brake Bleeder
This definitely falls under the "Under $50" category.
Cost, $3 for a jello shooter (the alcoholic type) and maybe $2 for some 1/4" clear tubing approx 12" long.
Needing to bleed my front brakes because I did a cable swap, I came up with this idea. I had the 'jello' syringe in my drawer that I kept from the beach last year. Actually kept a few of them. They're pretty big, as it's labeled "2oz" on the side.
It did take a few sessions to clear the old fluid/air out of the lines before I saw new brake fluid but those brakes never felt better. This took 15min by myself. I'm sure you could cut that time down with the help of a friend topping off the master cylinder as needed.
I'm sure you can figure out how this works:

Speedo Mount on FXD with pullback risers
I am posting this on the under $50.00 thread because someone will have figured out how to make/adjust a bracket that will show the Speedo in the stock position rather than facing down
Accutronic has one but I do not think I could mount my windshield with it in place need to mount is stock position on bars
TIA

Modify the windshield.
Easier than modifying the bracket.
