I like those too...I've been waiting for someone to rig that up on a Dyna, but the fatter tank might be a problem.

rocker mount,, wouldnt that vibrate the speedo to pieces, plus, dangerous looking down at it too?

The housing has rubber mounts on the front and backside of the gauge, which would help with vibration issues. Looking down at it isn't a big concern to me personally. I'm looking to clean up the bars and retain the speedo for mileage reasons. Definitely not for everyone, but it is alot cheaper than some of the other options like a Dakota Digital speedo.

I have this exact setup for my bike but have not installed it yet. If you do not mind me asking how did you remount the headlight ? My headlight is mounted to the brow from the top.

Any other pics would be appreciated.
