That is exactly what I'm looking for. I could easily route the cabling through the cut outs in my risers. Got any more info?

I've been sitting on all the stuff to do this for almost a year. I've been reserved because I keep debating on what I'm going to do about the gaping hole in my dash....
I flip flop back and forth. I'm sick of looking down, and I'd want to run dual tach/speedo gauges, but then it's just more **** cluttering up the bars and extra wiring hanging out. I mounted it all up and almost went for it, then pulled out at the last minute.
I went with throttle cable clamps for 1 1/4" tubes and just screwed a gauge mount into that, i think they're $24 each or something.

As for the hole, I plan on just filling it with a piece of plastic cut to fit primed and painted texture black. The Rustoleum Texture Black with a coat of flat black over it is a pretty good match. I painted my speedo bezel with it:
Thanks again.

Don't know your fab skills. Just a thought, as I personally like details, particularly unique details.
Mount the gauges on the back side of the bars, facing back, but angled for best view. Haven't seen that before.
Or, if they'll tuck in between the risers, mount then in there, with the preferred gauge up high, etc, and you could make a small plate that fits there, and mount your idiot lights there.
That would be my route if I ran t-bars.

I'm planning to do exactly that (back side of the bars), but flip the speedo mount upside down and rotate the speedo in it 180.
Mounting it using Motion Pros swivel 1 1/4" clutch cable clamps, which I can use to adjust the angle. I'm already using dual version for my throttle cables.
I just need to find a gauge housing that will work. HD's chrome one will fit, but it's...chrome, and I don't want to spend $114 on something I'll have to powder coat or paint. I found a Custom Chrome gauge mount on Google in texture black, but it's no longer in production apparently.
Still looking...

Just eBay stuff and piece it together. I've also considered filling the hole with something, but then again, it's the awkward giant black dash with nothing but idiot lights toward the middle/bottom. Aesthetically it's an empty void with one bar of lights, plus you're still looking down to use the idiot lights (most of us don't use them anyway, but when you do...).
I've always been so jealous of this setup. Even if I found the parts, it's the question of what to do with my dash full of holes, and if I ever sell, will the buyer appreciate this customer setup?

Anyone got a part number for the stock FXR gauge bracket?
All I can find is the HD $114 chrome option, or this from Bikers Choice that appears to be back ordered until next year at every vendor:
Also, I doubt I'll have enough harness to reach from under the tank to the bars. I don't mind wiring up an extension, but would like to make one using the right connector...any ideas where to find one that fits?
Thanks again...this didn't seem like it would be this hard at first.
