RE: stock gauge mount......
You can actually purchase the XL/Dyna style bracket cheap and then mount it to your bar clamp over your headlight where the brow mount is.
Here's how I did it on my XL1200C when I did away with the integreted riser/speedo mount....

well i got 4in risers and that looks too low to see very well. plus im still runnin the stock visor mount light. the 1200 customs gauge mount thats behind the risers would be perfect for what im tryin to do, thanks for the idea and it looks good but not what im goin for. so if anyone gots a clamp and mount like im talkin please email or pm me thanks

RE: stock gauge mount......
Sounds like you want the set up that I got rid of and like Utz has. I know for sure that the top clamp with speedo built in won't work with your stock risers as they will only fit the tall pulback riser that is stock on the 1200C. Additionally, if you go with the complete riser/speedo mount from the sportster I'm pretty sure that you will not have enough clearance over your current tank dash. What you need is the straight riser that had the integreted speedo mount in it as it will give you the same hgt. you have now and the speedo will be hanging over the tank. Actaully the set up that I have and suggested will work for you as most who do this mod. and want hgt. over the brow is just to move it up with extension sockets as spacers

The straight riser with speedo mount that would work best for you is like the one on this bike...

thats a pretty good idea, but id still need to buy the diff speedo bracket since on the new models its all together the top clamp and mount. but that would work. im still thinkin what i want to do will work, i just need to get straight risers cuz yes with that pull back to them ill hit my tank but i was measuring last night and it should work fine with straight ones. if they dont make straights i'll make them myself. will see what happens when utz gets his new setup done. thanks for the idea i like it.
