thanks. that is actually my part that i drew with the emachineshop software. i use microstation and inroads at work so it was pretty easy to learn the emachineshop application. the mount is a work in progress as i have to take apart my existing mount to verify the indicator light bar dimensions and mounting screws\threads. i drew it 1 to 1 and the instant estimate feature the application has tells me it is around $230 at this point. turn around time for the machine shop is around 20-30 days.

That speedometer mount turned out awesome! 
Just out of curiosity what do the 8" Wild1 bars do for comfort that the stock bars are missing?
Thanks for posting the info. I'd sure like to buy one of these speedometer mounts.

Forgive me for not figuring out how to private message, but could you send me the CAD file at lanestuff95@yahoo.com. What kind of modifications did you make since the CAD drawings?

Barndog,
I went with the Wild1 8" drag bars because they are one piece with internal wiring. I would check them out as an option for you. It's a little bit of work to change out the bars and speedo but I think it's worth the effort. I find the bars much more comfortable than the stock buckhorns and the speedo looks great tucked between the bars and tank.
icufltrn,
It should not be too hard to modify the drawings for dual gauges or even reduce it down to just a bracket to mount the idiot lights. If you want to use my drawings as a starting point just PM me and I will email them to you.
Stanger,
Thanks for the warm welcome and kind words. I'm looking into what it would take to make the brackets available for purchase. Time will tell...
