Speedo Relocation
Has anyone tried to move the speedo on an 883L to below the bars? If so, how did you do it? I would like to move mine below the stock bars but am unsure if or how it can be done.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Happy 2009!!!!

Here's how you do it:
You buy the older style XL/Dyna single guage bracket along with a few HD parts to convert the indicator lights to the old style and bolt it to your tree. If you have a headlight visor then just raise it up using extension sockets as spacers. Total investment will run ya around $30-40 for the bracket and parts and then you can run whatever risers you want.

If I understand you right (not clear) you want the speedo hanging over the tank vs. in front of the bars. This can be done with a riser setup from the 1200C (6" hgt. with about 2" pullback and you can find them for $100-150 which is what I sold mine for). You can also use other speedo brackets from earlier model years which are a little harder to come by, but with those especially on the 883 peanut tank which sits a little higher the risers will need to be tall enough so that the speedo clears the tank unless your using the eraly model stragith riser/speedom mount setup instead of a bracket mount. Bettter alternative yet except for loosing the diagnostic mode and mileage (which is not overly important) you can purchase a mini speedo from any number of companies and mount it wherever you want however many of those are very $$$.

Harley Davidson Sportster Speedo Relocation Bracket
I have owned many Sportsters over the years and always wanted to relocate the Speedo off the top clamp. I didn't like the idea of removing my Speedo so I have come up with a Speedo Relo Kit that I sell on ebay for $39.99. I only make a few bucks on it but it's great when folks purchase it and email me how much they love the new look. I hope this helps.
