Simple bracket:
Where do you attach it to ?

Do you know any other ?

 

It's YOUR bike. Do what ya want.

 

I'll know what I want when I see it

 

I have an old style Harley mount. Its what you show as Bikers Choice from JP Cycles.
I have it mounted on my Iron's pullback risers using some billet aluminum cable clamps.

You can see pics in this thread;

good luck,

Very Nice Bike!
Yes , attached to the risers ... that should work
But I don't want risers ... yet

 

I think I meant taller risers ... duh!

 

FWIW, you dont need risers to use this mount. You could use the stock eyebrows
two mount points on the top triple tree

But if you do that - you'll also need to figure out how to mount the headlight.

good luck,

T.

 

I see,
thanks!
But will they bolt on to the risers too right?
Because
I see I'll need risers anyway
Maybe short ones
Because the current speedo holder is the cover of the stock risers

 

You would also need the "old style" handlebar clamp to replace your current top clamp.
I have a picture of this at home that I'll add when I can get to it.

Here's one listed on FleaBay

I’ll show you what I did. Mine is an ‘06 Custom so it originally had that super fugly chrome pullback riser/speedo combo. I ditched it many years ago for some short stock risers and speedo mount off another Sportster. I slightly enlarged the speedo mount bolt holes so that I could mount the clamp right on top of the triple trees. Not sure exactly what would be entailed to do this on your 2017 but a potential option for you.
