Default fxdx bar conversion/speedo placement advice!

Hey all

I am planning on switching my stock 2000 dyna fxdx bars to drag bars with 4" risers. My issue is the large, clunky speedo/tach, currently mounted between the existing bars. I am looking to clean it up and minimize the front, and am willing to ditch the tach. Anyone seen a clean replacement speedo, or alternative mount that will not look as bulky and cumbersome as the current stock setup?
thanks in advance

carlini makes some gauge mounts to fit between the risers. Pricey but worth it in the long run I'd imagine. I'm thinking about picking one up when my drags come in. http://www.carlinidesign.com/harley-...ount/index.php

I used the Accutronix gauge mount, still leaves the stock gauges sticking up in the air, but worked for me. Here's the link: http://www.accutronix.com/products/risers/R1.shtml
