Default Speedo relocation?

Hello, im interested in a street bob. I have been looking around. Oh, a 2017 by the way. But i would like to relocate the speedometer on the bars. Somewhere more visible so i do not have to look down to muvh while riding. Has anyone done this?

seems to be happening a lot lately. The misplaced posts

the move of speed is easy. Cleaning up the tank/console after is the hard part. So, most of the same problems here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...-quetions.html


moving
Depending on your bar riser/bar hight, you may be able to get a mount or top clamp you like and move the indicators and guage without messing with the lenght of the harness. If not, any decent electrical shop or you can extend it. I had mine extended.

Clean up
big bear choppers makes cover for the hole left in the dash if you choose to remove the dash. "Smooth dash cover" . The also have an igntion relocation bracket.

you could also just stick a guage rear cover over the hole and use long screws and nuts to hold it in place.
Tried that out here
