Default Heritage Mod - Move Speedometer Cluster

I can't see the speedometer with my full-face helmet without looking down. Has anyone moved the speedometer to the handlebars and maybe cleaned up the gas tank?

I have vaguely wondered if you could wire in a splitter and install a handlebar clamp display like some of the other models run, or even a second, small, speedometer up on the handlebars or such.

Alternatively, and probably more feasible, would be a GPS speedometer wired up to always be on when the bike is on.

I've thought about a handlebar mounted tach. Easy to gauge the speed off
RPM. 2900 in 5th = 70 mph. `

Dynojet Power Vision mounted on the bars and you can have all the gauges you want.
