Default Relocating Speedo and Tach

I'm putting Frisco style bars on my 2004 sportster and want to relocate the speedo and tach (maybe even remove the tach all together) to keep my top clamp clean and simple looking. Is there a kit to do this? What have y'all done in the past? Any tips appreciated.

There may not be a kit as such, but check out other models to see if there is a set-up you fancy. Parts like instrument mounts can be swapped about easily enough.

Cheap relocation for your speedo which mounts to the front gas tank bolt:

You can also get one of these to keep the dummy lights on the clamp:

or

With this set up, you'd ditch the tach. Hope that helps a bit

I have this set up with a joker machine top clamp. I love it, cleans the look up a bit and I can still read the speedo (well, until I go over 50, ha!)
