I wanted to move my speedo up to be closer to my field of vision when I'm riding, but because I have an FXD, it meant having to get a new top clamp for my risers. Also, I have Bung King T-Bars for integrated risers (basically window bars) so I couldn't just use a normal relocation bracket. So what I did was modify (cut, paint, etc) a stock riser clamp/speedo bracket, mount it on a couple cable clamps to the bars, and replace the top clamp with a stock one that a friend gave me off his FXDB. I'm pretty happy with it and it puts it in a great spot to see without taking my eyes off the road.
First, I cut the bottom half of the riser clamp portion of with a grinder/cut off wheel:
Then I trimmed the bottom trim piece:
Then I bolted it to the clamps on the bars:
And this is how it turned out:
Overall, I'm really happy and it was a pretty quick mod. Plus, it cost next to nothing!
