1 1/4" T-bar Speedo Mount?
I'm tired of taking my eyes off the road to see my tank mounted speedo.
I've been sifting through threads for solutions, but haven't seen anything that will work for 1 1/4" T-bars. I'm looking for a center mount and don't mind the cyclops look.
Just looking to move the speedo, not necessarily the idiot lights.
Any suggestions or recommendations?

Maybe, but that's more effort than I'm looking for. If I have to go that route, I'll pick up one of SPF's wheelie bars or Bung King's with the bungs already finished.
Joker Machine makes a mount for the fork, that could probably be adapted with a clamp.
Seems like everyone with bar mounted speedos wants them moved to the tank from what I'm seeing in my searches. I haven't found any going the opposite way.

You could mount two of these clamps to your bars, then fab a 1/4" thick plate to mount your speedo. The plate would need two drilled tabs for mounting to the clamps.
Then, fab a cup to conceal the backside of the speedo. The rim of the cup would have two matching tabs for the clamps.
Finally, drill a hole in the back of the cup for the wire (and a grommet.)
I could draw something for you if I had the speedo dimensions.

Hey Im trying to do the same thing. The way I ride I can't be looking down at the tank all the time.
Im trying to mount a combo speed and tacho to 12inch wild 1 T Bars. I like the look of the old FXDX gauges but Im not completly sure if they will work with my 2013 FXDB.

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?
