Mine is on the same tab from the tank, there's a lift bracket on there, I just put the speedo bracket on the same bolt. You can see it in the top pic.

I drilled out the hole on the clamp bracket to 5/16" and mounted it to the front tank mount, just remove the nut, install the bracket and replace the nut.

Here's a pic of the mounting..

A little thread hijack here(sorry). Would anyone with a nightster or low that has relocated their speedometer be interested in selling their top clamp with the integrated speedo mount?

yes you can... from about 20mph to 90 or so I think. The only things I really need to see I never pay attention to it anyway. Low, Slow and Loud. The whole reason I came to HD from Jap bikes.
