that mount is bolted to the location where the brow for the 39mm forks goes.

No, it's a lay-down version of the typical fxd speedo bracket. It mounts to the top of the risers but the 48 looks like it's got it's own unique top triple tree. I'm not saying it won't work, but...

Hi, expy.. Can you tell me what handle bars you're running in the pics above? I have a 2010 Fxd and wanna do the same style! Thanks!

I don't even remember this thread!

Those were just stock risers with stock Nightster chrome bars, they also come in black. There may be more options out there now, I just haven't looked lately.

Here is what happens when you use pull back risers with the bar mounted speedo. Doesn't look to bad with a fairing but it looks a little funny without.
