Mount it on the upper tree. You need to have or change to a bottom-mounted headlight though...
The pullback risers, depending on height, may obscure the indicators. I have to sit up slightly to see those on mine.

Accutronix makes a Gauge mount adapter.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I used it with a set of 4.5 pullback risers.

&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Or on on my 93 Sporter I spaced the holes out a little bit and mounted it in the brow bosses.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;


I am able to see the idiot lights fine from the seat.&nbsp\\;

Editted to add Sportster Image.
