Default Harley Breakout speedo bracket on sportster

So I have been looking for a speedo relocation that mounts near the bars, not interested in the side mounts, etc. While looking at the RSD kit, which does look good, and the 48 speedo mod, I came across the breakout bracket which looks like it might fit the sportster stock location. Anyone know? thoughts? Cant seem to find a part number for the bracket either.

I also found this which would be perfect but I cant seem to get a hold of the company and their site looks broken. I don't know why no one else can design a simple flat speedo gauge/clamp.

you can see me asking that guy why he didn't just flip the indicators, lol. why does no one ever admit to not knowing something? you actually learn more by saying, "i don't know" than pretending to know...


anyway...

Thanks for the feed back, you guys think it will fit? probably have to remove the headlight brow. Can we re-use our stock indicators? will they fit in the breakout indicator space?

i'm not sure if the bar diameter (probably not ) is the same but, the indicators may move. i can't say. i'd assume so considering hd's reuse of parts. welcome to custom roulette

Might consider the 'old style' guage mount that attached to the handlebar
clamp... The one below is from Drag Specialties, but HD still has them
in black if you prefer (which is what I used).
