Default FAWK! i shoulda waited...

so my ignition switch fell out... or better fell into the frame. harley manual says i had to take the tank off, no biggy i thought but if i was gonna be doing some work i might as well thown on some parts i was gonna save for winter. so the t-bars went on and my new led tail light with integrated sigs went on got rid of the stock sigs cuz they look dumb on that detachable hardware. only thing i had left was to mount the speedo somewhere (fxd). i ordered my bracket on the 9th thought for sure it was gonna be here by today but nope, and its gonna be in the mid 80s all weekend.

so what i did was take a flat metal bar drilled a big hole on one side, and a small hole on the other. used the big hole and put it between my t bars and top triple clamp and the small hole to the stock speedo mount where the bolt goes to bolt it up to the risers. looks super ghetto, i went to the big ademec harley dealer in jax yesterday i was suprised to get compliments on my bike and the bars but no one said anything about the "ghetto mount."
