Exactly!! Might have some clearance issues with extreme pullback bars, but for most bar types I think it would work. Only idea that I could come up with that got the speedometer completely off the bars, but didnt require a new speedometer to be purchased. Honestly, I dont think there is a great looking solution to this problem .... but the speedometer doesnt bother me at all unless I comtemplate going to T-bars.

dyna speedo

How far back do those risers bring your bars/hands? Are they curved? or angled? one inch or 1 an 1/4 inch thick. Did you have to replace the brake line?

The speedo can be mounted on the risers in fron. Cable clamp kits available on e bay. . or on the tank side,with the sporty custom clamp or on the back side of the clamp by turning the speedo can over. or switch out for a street bob tank.

I think i am going to try the sporty custom clamp. quick n dirty , want to get riding.

I've just had Buffalo 5.5 inch risers installed on my 2005 FDXCi. I stayed with the stock bars (my preference) but now the speedometer is sitting up there on top of the handlebar clamp, looking a little bizarre in my opinion. Would like to relocate it somewhere to clean up the clutter. Ideas? Thanks in advance.
