sportster speedo on my dyna
had a few members ask me about my speedo setup. i got the speedo housing and riser setup off ebay for 115bux.. its the older straight model.. i have the jackyl tank lift and didnt think the newer curved riser would clear my tank.. i think the straight one looks better anyway.. installed without a hitch other than having to extend the wires 4 inches.used my own speedometer. all the color codes were the same.. has bulbs instead of the LEDs.. plan on putting drag bars on it in the spring.. hope i answered all the questions..
ride on!

Looks good ... I was seriously considering this mod. I have a friend who has a 1200 Custom with the same stock speedo setup.
I was actually looking at the later models with the pull-back risers, but I don't have the tank lift. I don't care for the look of pull-back risers with ape hangers, though; so, I abandoned that concept. I do like the way it eliminates the speedo from the front of the bars.

On the custom models, they have a bottom mount headlight and a trim piece where the brow usually goes. Maybe a bottom mount and trim piece will solve the issue.

sportster riser/h.b. clamp/speedo combination
very nice, this is what I'm searching for my 2003 FXD. So this is a sportster 1200 construction? Any idee what models (from what year) will fit on my bike so that I don't have to change other stuff? After the mod, will the handlebars be higher and has the speedo enough place?
Here're the 2002 Sportster models parts diagrams for the handlebar and speedo/riser break-down (see attachments)
Right now (10-21-2009) Ebay has auctions for two of them: firts ... second
Newer models have the pull/back integrated speedo/riser clamp combination:
Unfortunately I do not know the p/n's for this type of riser combination.
The 2002 model will fit to the Dyna2003 upper t.t. for sure: equal mounting parts (rubber bushing a.s.o) are used on both XL and Dyna models.
I guess the handlebar will go up about 4 inches; I'm not sure if you will have to change throttle and/ore clutch cables, indicator lamps set-up and electric wires.
