I have a rear wheel speedo kit I bought but couldn't use because I went to a deuce wheel an there wasn't enough room for it. It's basicly a long cable, a clip that goes under a rotor bolt to run the drive unit an a drive unit an a chrome cover. $30 shipped if u need something an want to try it.

Thanks LW. i may take you u up on that as i gotta check the viability of making my current setup work. tom84 posted a greatly helpful photo so that i can see what else can be done. I'll let ya know sooner than later.
2006flst, you can just go for it. forget ebay as these things sell for $3000. Acme Choppers has a beautiful springer and the quality is good as I saw his shop. Made here in usa too if that matters to ya...

Your gonna have to cut some off that left hand grip to make it look right.
I just had a set of grips like that and that is what I had to do.

maybe THC, I doubt it because it is a 1" thru and thru. I had a dead spot (shall we say) on the last setup I had, they were Gatling Carlini rip-offs. The last were the beefy 1.25" but 1" controls and they were a tad long. I bought the same grips from the same manufacturer because I was amazed at how awesome they were, are. I had a crap pair on the first time but got lucky when I chose these. A pal is running some PM grips that looks like billet metal but they are awesome looking and feeling too but since we ride together a fair amount I don't wanne be a clone of him. lol
Thanks all,
Tom
