I have seen many of you all with your speedos relocated down on the coil pack or tank bolt. i love the look. i'm attempting to do the same on my nightster but i have some questions. What mount (part number would help if you remember it) do you use? I have been told a standard 5" tach mount from autometer but i can't find one. will i have to remove the bottom part of the speedo containing the indicator lights? anyone have an idea for the indicator lights? any help will be appreciated. post or send me a private message. Thanks all

I have had many questions about my speedo relocation and I know many people have done it several different ways. Here's the way I did it. It took me less than an hour to do it.

I was fortunate enough to have an 02 Hugger that I traded top clamps with so I had one without the speedo mount attached to the clamp. You will need to acquire a different top clamp if you have the stock one on the bike now.

First thing to do is remove the speedo from the top clamp housing.

-Remove the plate from the back of the speedo housing and unplug the connector from the back of the speedo. Then remove the speedo from the housing by pulling up from the top.

Next remove the indicator lights from the top clamp by removing the two screws from the back of the light bar. Remove the plastic bezel from the top of the clamp (don't loose the plastic strip with the symbols on it).

Replace top clamp with the one you will replace it with..
I reassembled the indicator light bezel to the lights and used 2 sided emblem adhesive to attach it to the top clamp. Works for me for now.

Now there are 2 small holes in the mounting plate for the guage clamp (Auto Meter Part # ATM-3209 From Summitracing.com) I drilled out one of the holes to 5/16" to fit on the front tank mount bolt.

Mount the clamp under the tank mount nut.

Install the speedo into the clamp along with the original rubber seals and rotate it to your liking and tighten the bolts on both sides of the clamp.

Now for the wiring... Reroute the wiring down to the speedo. You may need to remove the headlight eyebrow to fit the connector through.

I had to slice the plastic cover on the harness to get enough length to reach then I just taped it up with electrical tape. Plug the connector into the speedo make sure the original rubber ring is on the back of the speedo then install the back plate.

You Are Done!

Hopefully this will help some people. Feel free to ad your own ideas to this thread. (Maybe this can be a Sticky)
