Default Relocating Handlebar Mounted Speedo

OK; for those of you with the handlebar mounted speedos (superglides and superglide customs)...I just came across this slick little item that I think is wicked cool; its for sportys but I'm pretty sure it should work on dynas........sure wish they'd had this when I had my sporty...never liked the thing mounted on the bars. Here's the link to Joker Machine and some pics:

Looks sweet, Now I just need one in Chrome with no lights. Then I can move my tach off of the bars and go with a simple drag bar/riser combo.
Anyone run into anything else like this that would do the job?

Its a cool looking mount but besides the clamp not fitting the newer Dynas, I think the speedo would hit the tank on a Dyna unless you pushed it forward quite a bit which wouldnt look as good.

If someone has this setup on his Dyna, please post a pic!

looks like a very good (and easy) solution to relocate the speedo.

Might need to install the 2" tank lift so as to clear Dyna fuel tanks.

I wonder if you could use something like that to mount to the riser part of a bar like the street slammer on my FXD.
